Any excuse… has track tyres and guide on it now but its dark and in the garage.

I don’t associate the colour orange with something cool like Cotic, but with something deeply uncool like this fine bigot chappie

Do like that blue though.

Some better pictures

How does the bike handle with 160mm forks?
I’m thinking about building a Bfe with 160mm Slants, but I’m afraid it might be a bit overkill and make the bike handle like a longboat.
Any opinions?

Had 130/160 Slants on mine. 160 climbed surprisingly well and was great downhill if things were relatively straight. Anything else at 130 or the front tended to drift out unless every corner was taken on the button. Still perfectly ok, just not 100%

Scoop saddle looks good. I’ve gone gone for the same with my green Soul.

Red spokes!?! GTFOH! I bet you think it looks good with clashing colours as well

Liked it but very stiff and unforgiving at the rear!

@ rob hilton…i bet i dont give a f*ck whether you like it or not!

Holy thread resurrection!

This is the latest pic of mine. I have brakes now but I still haven’t ridden it.

I need a short stem as that huge one is borrowed and I think I’ll be shortening the forks to 130 or 140.
