Grease_Monkey Posted November 5, 2017 Share Took the Cotic out for a ride today after I made a few changes. Took the MRP Ribbon that was on it and put that on my Stumpy - it was overkill for the Cotic. Took the Fox 34 that was on the Stumpy and put it on the Cotic. Was first at 150mm, but that was a bit too slack, took it down to 130mm and added some stealth graphics to the fork - the bike is very well balanced now. All that's left to do now is swop out the ugly beige stanchions with some black stanchions, but that is going to be a costly exercise so it will only happen in a while... tcarthew, Calculus Bikes, the nerd and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowta Posted November 21, 2017 Share Anyone with some feedback or thoughts on this puppy? Needs a dropperWhat travel? Otherwise, can I have one? Calculus Bikes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piston ZA Posted November 21, 2017 Share Needs a dropperWhat travel? Otherwise, can I have one?Titanium hardtail = But agree, needs a dropper. I understand that each one is custom-made, but a dropper should be an option. More details needed as well; geometry, travel etc. Calculus Bikes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps look into a dedicated long travel frame, where you can have a steeper ST angle, lower BB and throw in a little extra reach.

Fox3 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Slightly off topic but still on Hardtail trail bikes. As a weekend warrior, bashing around Gauteng (mostly), what would the pro's and cons be of going hardtail rather than a full suspension bike? Budget wise the hardtail does seem a bit cheaper (depending on the build). At the moment I ride a Merida One Twenty which I am looking to replace with a frame with a slacker head angle and possibly a bit more travel. Hey Letum911, has anybody answered you yet? I am looking to do exactly the same as you with regard to more travel and slacker geometry. This thread really messes up your mind I know just how you feel, I thought I knew what I want...clueless now....pretty sure I can't and shouldn't have both...but like 99% of these bikes are ridiculously hot! http://dartmoor-bikes.com/sites/default/files/hardware/product/frame-primal-29.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually went completely the opposite direction with no suspension . Ended up building a very pretty SS steel frame rig with a carbon fork As for the long travel dream: She is still there, but now in the far distant future!! However after owning a steel frame I do think this will be a prerequisite when the time comes!!! Fox3 and DirtyDan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich990 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Just ordered a Dee Dar frame in pearl white size L. Going to try run it as a 26er with a 160 Pike... Awesome, I've been wondering what the pearl white actually looks like - like is it a white frame, or is it the gunmetal one with the orange stickers, that looks like it has a white pearl coat over the black undercoat? Like this: OR is it this one???? Edited November 21, 2017 by Rich990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
