The COTIC thread

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.

Anyone know of anyone selling a Cotic bFe medium frame? 

[The expat cyclist]

I have a Cotic issue at the moment. Recently I noticed that the clearance between the rear tyre and the left chainstay (non drive side) is a lot smaller than the clearance on the right (drive side). Roughly about 4-6mm. The tyre is not rubbing against the frame (except if it gets muddy) and the inside clearance between the dropouts is 135mm on the dot. Dropouts are also in line.

 

I would like to know if this is just on my bike?

Anywhere I can take it that can do cold setting maybe? - Frame is out of warranty.

 

Or should I just leave it?

The most obvious problem to me would be an incorrectly dished wheel as opposed to a badly aligned frame.

Thats the first thing I thought of, chances are slim that frame is misaligned...
