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.

Currently fitting swish new Hylex brakes, have some natty purple grip tape to match the frame waiting to go on.

I love my grape paintwork, but I always want all the other colours when I see them!

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

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