Comic Soda (prototype) size medium

[yannis70]

A rare opportunity to get your hands on the original prototype Cotic Soda (the titanium version of the legendary Soul). This particular bike was a pre-production prototype, but the production model was largely unchanged, and met with rave reviews from the press. Frame weight around three pounds, it combines all that is best of titanium - lively, responsive and with the unique feel of a quality ti frame - with the superb geometry that Cotic built its reputation on.

Head-badge is not the usual Cotic one - this is assume is because it was pre-production.

Frame is in good condition, but with a dent in the top tube (pictured). It acquired this early in its life, and it has never deteriorated in any way.

All components are top-quality, mainly accurate for the age of the bike.

COTIC, not Comic. Don't you love auto-correct

Post 97?

 

[yannis70]

Yes. Comic started in 2003, I'm guessing this bike is something like 2005.

I know it's not strictly in keeping with the retrobike definition, but I thought it was unusual enough that someone might be interested.

Might have had more luck in the 98> thread is all?

Is that a repair to the drive side chain stay at the dropout?

 

[yannis70]

Yes, the chainstays developed a hairline crack about 5 years ago. Professionally welded, nice neat job. No problems since.

I'll get the tape measure out and let you know the dimensions when I get a chance.
