Cotic Classic BFe

arran77

Right, finally got around to posting this up, I got the frame for Christmas and have built it up with a mix of parts from my last bike and some new bits too.













I'm pretty pleased with the way it's turned out, I'm planning to put a dropper post on soon but that's all.....at the moment

I prefer blue to green, better tubeset too, looks sweet! Dropper makes such a difference, that and tubeles tyres have transformed mine

@lexD

Very sweet, loving the blue and nukeproof bars look perfect. You have done a great job there, the dropper post will make you wonder how you got on without it before

Pics or it never happened

Now with the Reverb taken over at Swinley this morning, people say you don't know how you managed before you had a dropper and it's true!

Yes, although they do have someone there that hoses your bike down for £1 but he's only there in the summer :roll:

Lots of the trails are shut and the ones open are rather 'damp'

Updated now with a single chain ring.

Very nice, you're going to want a chain guide on there though if you don't have a clutch mech.

Ive forgotten to switch my clutch back on after changing a tyre before, and didn't once lose the chain on some pretty big stuff. Noise is the only real concern.

I have a non functioning clutch on my mech and haven't once shaken the chain off doing plenty of trails far rougher than Swinley. The clutch would make my bike quieter though..........
