edited: riding a medium/long cotic roadrat? I would like to try it for size before parting with cashola and given there is a strong trend on here to assist people to buy bikes I'm wondering if a kind soul of awesomeness would allow me to rest my [lycra clad] cheeks on said prize steed to help me choose.

Cheers muchly an all...

yeeesh... the things you've got to do in here! though LiT's comment of naming the roadrat was spot on - I've been reading up on them so much it seemed so obvious to me :D

    Cotic? D'you mean a roadrat?

    I'm not, no, but you might have more success if you're more specific...

    I would lend you something but due to the inaccuracies, amendments and general vagueness of the original request I don't know who I am anymore.

    I love the look of the RoadRat and it would probably be my ideal commuting / do everything bike, although pretty expensive.

    Think I'll spend a couple of hours reading more reviews, place my credit card on the table, then get drunk and see what happens.

    It's a weird one. For some reason many of us here have been attracted towards the Road Rat, but why? It's heavy and has, perhaps not unfairly, been called a hybrid for those with more money than sense. That said, I still quite fancy one.
