I was one of the biggest cotic fans out there ( still regret selling my last one ) 

 

but their prices have gone up like crazy over the last 4 years , so much so that I won't even consider them anymore 

 

it's sad actually

I'm actually better off getting the Tranny Sentinel, but i just had a moment of madness when i saw the bike at the EWC, after the price I'm happy with my 45650b

The biggest thing for me is the cost vs perceived quality... 

 

Cotic make a steel frame out of the same stuff as on-one but charge twice as much for it, their frames are not all made in the UK any longer so that argument is moot. 

 

Love their frames, cant justify the price. 

 

Pipedream is a good option as well for UK designed steel...

I sommer unsubscribed from their e-mail.

Cotic use a more refined tubeset if I am not mistaken
