Thinking about the next bike project.
Probably a cotic RR or escapade.
single speed and I reckon flat bar.
defo like the yellow RR
show me yours.
Had both, singlespeed yellow escapade and Alfine Roadrat (the one used in the life bike video a few years back). Google photos won't play so I've linked to the ads on Pinkbike from when I sold them.

Really liked the escape and have considered getting another one. Couldn't get on with the Rat for some reason. Falling off it and breaking my arm was the final straw
Heres mine. 😉

(Possibly for Sale 8) )
That looks nice Andy. Digging the bar and saddle combo
Here's my Roadrat - it's an Alfine rather than singlespeed.

It's the new model in that gorgeous Bfe red that's piqued my interest again 🙂

I can confirm that 40mm tyres are a MAX fitment on the Escapade (on the rear), certainly if planning to ride in muddy conditions.
