Awesome to know where the frame came from a friend built it up for me. Absolutely loving it

Enjoy! I had many happy miles on that bike.

Been a looong time....

Still have my two Cotics, have tried to sell them, but they are a part of me now, lol!

Red X is was repainted by me and logo painted on - not very well, but I learned a lot.

Still the best bikes I've owned.

Mine in current form.

Loving the new Arch Mk4 rims on Cure hubs, and the Vittoria tyres.
34x19 ratio for everything.

That is a beautiful bike. 34/19 is a massive gear.

My ROS9 is running 30/18. In my fittest days I think I rode 32/19. I think I rode Freedom Challenge 34/20 and all the big stage races 32/20.

Thanks. Love this bike. Can't imagine anything else riding as nicely.

My Jhb gear was always 34-18 but since moving to the Garden Route I've had to back it off a bit :)
