I’m choking a little at the thought of spending £500 on a Solaris – just seems a bit dear….

Buy one, if you don’t like it, i will personally refund you the £500 – that’s how confident i am that you will fall in love, as i have with mine.

Thankyou please.

Cotic Solaris :)

Sweet looking seat stays and clamp! :-)

Surely could have designed it with clearance for forks tho?

I run Flows on my Solaris – no probs here.

Also run 26″ Flows on my SC Nomad – again no probs and done the red at Fort Bill and black run at Laggan on it.

+ 1 for Cotic Solaris – loving mine and not even got a bouncy front end on her yet! :-)

Run flatties on my mtb’s.

All new to me.

Location: Laggan Wolftrax, Black run ‘Two ton drop’

+ 1 for Reverb – fitted to my Nomad, had mine 18 months – ish – flawless.

Bought one for my Solaris the other day from Merlin – bargain!

Happy uppy downy days to u! :-)

BOO – HEAR I AM!

Ha, ha – fooled yawl :)

XL Cotic Solaris – rides like a dream! :)

Absolutely loving it!

http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/finally-my-green-cotic-solaris-is-rolling

Would be interested to ride a big one

Filth!

Do you watch the mantelpiece when your’e poking the fire as well?

Always, i have nice looking women in my life :)

Same goes for my bikes, but they have the edge ;)

Every time i blink i see a 5 when out trail riding + they are ugly (imo)

Rocket looks good though! :)

Take out of bike, unscrew wee air cap on the bottom, screw on pump, charge to 200 psi

MAKE SURE IT WORKS, THEN:

unscrew pump, screw on wee air cap, done ;)

Take it you have checked the air pressure? :)

I took delivery of a shiny new one for my Solaris yesterday and thought it was knackered due to slow return speed, turned out it had very little air in it :)

Alan.

I went for an XL.

I suppose that I should call Cotic and see what hey suggest as well.

No offence to Cy or Paul at Cotic, they suggested i went for a L, but due to my Giant hybrid measuring up similarly i decided on an XL and glad i did!

It is a perfect fit :)

Those rims are made for this man! :)

I have had no probs with slippage, also running a Thomson post.

A couple of snaps from yesterday at Glentress.

Really loving the bike, could do with suspension forks though………………….

U said u were going to Glasgow?

I would run it with slicks

Defo King wheels and Ice-tech rotors for the downs ;)

Heavy camelback a must aswell!

Somone needs to carry tools – just incase!

Mr. spare tube, pump and fudge ;)

You should be on stage min! – Very good.

Have my wedge ready for tomorrow ;)

Have a nice time with the weegees :)

I’m not sure Im a fan to be honest

– Well, i am and that’s that!

LOL ;)

Who cares, it’s only money! :)

Pic 3 – note the port hole for a Stealth dropper post – Im sold! :)

Wow. I NEED that bike.

My thoughts – Exactly! :)

Race Face Strafe.

After he never replied to my second offer, i decided to just do it by the book, so i could’nt possibly do anything dodgy?

UPDATE:

Thought id share the news with you, the reason the seller cancelled my bids was:

aggressive buyer. asked to sell outside ebay numerous times

This however, not surprisingly it utter nonsense!

I made him 2 offers, mentioning once that i could pay him direct.

None of my messages to him could ever be classed as aggressive.

My missus gave me an ultimatum…..her or the bikes.
I don’t miss her.

LOL :)

+ 1 for her getting a hobby.

I think it’s jealousy with women.

+ 1 for apple green – with red Hope bits! :)

Rode / ridden – Who cares! :)

A bad workman always blames his tools ;)

Ur right mate! Ooops, Well spotted.

It’s Aviemore btw, not Aveinmore ;-)

Well – we did it! :)

Yesterday, weather could not have any better, sunny, warm – no wind or rain.

We followed route 77.

Dalwhinnie to Blaire Atholl was excellent, fast and quiet, notiecably downhill.

Blaire Atholl to Perth was enjoyable, but mostly on roads, all be it b roads with very liitle traffic.

It was 62.25 miles, took us 6 hours which included a few breaks.

A thoroughly fabulous day out with mates that i would do again – as soon as my tender rear end heals! :)

A few miles past Dalwhinnie:

Alan – nice nips ;)

Snack time! – House Of Bruar:

Lunch time – Aviemore:

I actually offered him £215 posted outwith Ebay and he never replied to that either………

Maybe a blessing in disguise!

That’s cheap compared to this:

£25k!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cotic Solaris.

OMG!

+ 1 for the number plate – looks gash!

I seem to remember a dark red one? – Way back in 1992 ish, think it was £3.5k then.

lol :)

Where did u get yours so cheap?

I noticed On-One were doing some for £300, then the swines bumped them up to £400!

Now they don’t even have them on there site???

Rorschach – did you buy 140’s and change them to 120?

Does doing this change the axle ~ crown length or just limit travel?

relatively flexy

That Youtube video looks worrying!

Im not light at 16 stone.

RS Revelation was my 1st choice, might stick with them – Srams website is a bit vague though:

29″: Dual Air: 120/130/140mm

Does this mean the travel can be adjusted or is this 3 different forks?
