Big shout out goes to fellow STW’er Mark Shine. Top bloke

How much do these go for? I cant seem to find them anywhere.

Having said that I just got back from Derby (photography trip), and while driving spotted a sexy COTIC bike in the window of a bike shop, looked fantastic!

I was very fortunate to put a WTD ad on STW and luckily for me some replied.

Case of right place, right time.

If you mail me i’ll reply with any queries JxL

You get them from here Sodabut only when they are in stock…. June?

Samways in Derby is now a Cotic dealer – that’s where you’d have seen it JxL.

Are they after market decals snakebite, as thats the second posted and they look sweeeetttt. I’m a sucker for black font on white background myself though 😉

Also liked the silver head tube badge with cotic cut-out on frame I bought. Can’t really see them in the pics above. Is this the standard one?

Alek. When I bought my Soul, I emailed Cotic to see if they send it without decal on, as I wanted to scan it, and get a black and red one done(wrap). They sent me the email address of the person(woman I think) that does their decals.

Emailed her one sunday explaining what I wanted. Within the hour, had a proof back!

Amazing or what?

£12 delivered – and Cotic didn’t seem to mind.

Great pic there Jon Edwards.

Loving the Cotic AQR decal. Always liked the wrap but think I now prefer these.

Complete with furry bash guard!

Lot’s of lovely Sodas. Makes my heart warm 😉

New Sodas will be back mid-late Summer. We’ve had a complete nightmare getting hold of the new tubeset we’re needing to meet these dumb new CEN regs which means frames need to be about 5 times stronger than they have to be. I’m expecting lab test frames very soon, and once I have a crisp compliance certificate I can order some. Some slight changes on the new stuff, going to larger top and seat tubes to improve the pedalling and torsional stiffness, but it’s actually lighter because you can use a closer fitting seatpost with less shim.

Here’s another, on a chilly morning in the Lakes last christmas:

Alek, mine are standard decals as supplied by Cy. I’m after a new set though as my Lupine battery has er…rubbed part of it off. Plus its Spring, so time to freshen it up!!!!

Snakey- you going to get a decent colour this time ?

Custom decals – that’ll have been Gil then.

Did one for my Soul – normal wrap decal but with the colours inverted so it was black frame with just the white lettering wrapping itself around the frame.

Top job.

looking at these makes me think I have been lost in the wilderness for a while….. looking forward to seeing the new batch, hoping we can have the best of the steel and ti in the ti frame
