Finally got round to posting a pic of mine, after waiting for new wheels and chainset upgrade…

* why cotic ??
Colour! steel, geometry, price, 29er, design (wishbone, tight back end, no chainstay bridge)…
* why that model
Ridden other 29ers but wanted something stable at speed, chuckable that could easily be run 1x… with seatstay chain device
* set up
Fox cut ‘n’ shut 2011/2012 F29 tapered/QR15 Kashima jobbies, RR/NN on proII evo/crests/Stans, Thomson stem 80mm/post, olde XT running gear, MartaSL, Niner alloy bars 710mm, CK headset, Raceface Turbine/E13 ring, middleburn single bolts, E13 STS-XC, Charge Knife, RF good/evil grips, Goodridge cable/outer – think that just about covers it!
* opinions !!
Love it! Rips up and down hill, smooths out the little stuff, stable at speed but can still handle technical descents, zooms up hill, really fast on the road, handles drops/roots fine, Light… never been a Cotic fanboy before but I like this one 😀
