New bike day at last

https://flic.kr/p/2mo9RQB

Well, a week ago it was but finally got to ride today around the local easy riding routes. Revolution bike park for the first time tomorrow will be interesting. This thing is bloody beautiful.

Edited cos I had no idea how to get this damn photo on of course. I know I'm getting old now!

Yay nice one! Been a long time coming too.

Can't wait to have a look at it in person soon too 🙂

I’ve been out on my gen 1 RocketMAX today for the first time in about a year. Was good fun but felt a bit like dragging a lot of bike round my local trails and no quicker than my hardtail on the techy downhill bits. But I’ll never move it on as for certain types of riding it’s bloody brilliant.

That’s the colour I would pick.

I already have my dream bike, if I didn’t that would be very near the top of my list. Best colour. Enjoy.

It's a great colour and I've added some hkt camo frame protection to top it off.

Gonna take some getting used to as my last bike was quite a lot more conservative with the geometry even with -2° headset fitted (cube stereo frame for sale in classifieds, stealth ad) and it's so very long.

Revs report. This thing is fast, much faster than me. Great day, needs some time spending on getting it setup ready for bike park Wales in a couple of weeks.

Your bridge needs weeding.

Nice wagon 👌

That Cotic design is such a nice looking bike, and in that colour - nice.

I really want a Cotic. I have no idea if I’d like riding one but they look lovely.

I don’t think I want a 29er so it’s a shame that that’s all they do now, I will be looking out for a chance to demo one if I get the chance though.

I was at Innerleithen uplift yesterday and the best looking bike I saw all day was a Cotic (not sure which).
