My Soul. New build.

What we’ve got here is….something lovely.

The bike, not the garage door, obviously.

Excellent valve/tyre logo alignadge.

They’ve become a bit of a classic ain’t they.

I quite like your garage door.

That is nice. It’s the bike a lot of us should ride, not the marketing and image led bikes we do ride.

Remnants of a pink CDC on the wall?

Looks lovely, just sold my frame, (qr/non stealth) and already wistfully looking at hardtail frames again 😯

WTF were you thinking? Bike not centred on garage door, non drive side shot, cranks not in line with seat tube!!!!!

Enjoy it 🙂

Tyre logos centered over valves: excellent.

Are you insane?! Cranks level, surely!

You’re right, the door looks shit.
Bravo.

You do realise the correct way is valve in line but opposite logo? Those tyres are 180′ out.

Psling what is this heresy?

That’s belter.

Have this week sold my Soul for a Bird…….

Currently Soulless and no Bird…

😆

I sold my Soul for a Bird too, and haven’t even ridden her properly yet.

17 years old, I’ve got a good jet washer.

The valve logo alignment is fine, on the drive side the valves will be at the bottom while the tyre model will be proudly displayed at the top.

Cranks level obs

P7 in garage Vic?

Amateurs – one of each is the way forward!

I have to admit, the angle of that seatstay brace bothers me slightly. That’s the worst thing I can say about it though. It’s still bloody lovely.

Thanks, it didn’t bother me until you just said! 😕

Ok. I’m struggling here… I like it

😳 Sorry!

I’m sure you’ll get over it 😛

Cotic Soul in the right colour. You can’t go wrong. Enjoy!

You appear to have pinched my bike! 😉

Logos and valves should be photographed at 12, 3, or 6 o’clock positions. The same as each other, it should be said. The front wheel just scrapes into acceptability, but this only serves to emphasise the dramatic discordance of the rear logo languishing somewhere between 2 and 3 o’clock

Cranks are correctly positioned at level, but you could also have levelled up the pedals or placed them whimsically/jauntily at 45 degrees.

Other than that, 8)

Sorted build!

Mismatched calipers

They’re Magura MT Trail, they’re meant to be “mis-matched” twin pot rear 4 pot up front.

Yeah, was joking. Are they good? Never really tried Maguras

Yeah, was joking.

😳

Been a long time user of Magura early on and used shimano more lately.

Levers are nice on Magura brakes, nice contact area., I’ve never had a set of Magura leak, never boiled a set either.

Nice modulation but I’ve not yet tried the Mt trails in earnest.

Fan of saints too but I’ve had numerous leak on me and I’ve managed to boil a set, just, but it was OK after it rested.
