The COTIC thread

[droenn]

I've got the older frame -  100 mm recommended, 120 mm max.

Doubt you will feel the difference normally - until you have a big hit.

Pulled the trigger and installed a Revelation on the Cotic.

 

Definitely a LOT stiffer than my RS 100mm QR straight steerer model.

 

Only done one run on it, but it is super plush on the downs. Climbing feels the same. I didn't measure the BB height prior, but it looks and feels higher, so no pedal strikes in future.

It does seem slightly slower through the tight bends. Quick right and left is no longer as quick, but I suppose this is due to the longer wheelbase.

 

Running the fork @ 130mm. Might have to drop it to 120mm but will give it a chance to settle in.

Quick pic.

 

Cant wait to get it out to VG, or Haka.

Question!?

 

Can anyone tell how big a box holding a Cotic Escapade Large Frame would be?

I will be bringing one back with me from the UK and don't want to get caught with any nasty fees.

A frame box for a MTB? No problem.

 

Smaller than a decent suitcase.

 

To satisfy yourself, get a box from your LBS and measure it, or aak the guys abroad to measure the box they have.

Going from memory and the images here:

I would say about 110 x 65 x 25 cm

you could still trim that box down once the fork has been taken out the frame....pack it tight, the smaller the better.

I plan to throw my clothes in the to as a sort of added bubble wrap. 

@hairy did you ever build your cushy long travel hard tail?

Hi there, 

Sadly the time has come to bid farewell to my trusty cotic. I have had some amazing times on this bike, but it needs a new home now.

Priced to sell,

It will be interesting to see what you get for the bike. IMO you asking a bit much for a rigid fork, single speed bike. Perhaps a very narrow customer base for this setup. I paid R15k for my Cotic with a Lefty and 2x10 setup a few years back. I guess even that was a bit high. GLWTS.

[Percyzn]

thanks, yes its a narrow customer base, but for the right guy its an awesome bike. I have had superb times on it. Cant compare it to a run of the mill bike, that is selling for around R15k.
