Dirt Disciple
Hi all, this is my Cotic BFe26.
It's been an on-going project which started a few years ago, built up from FleBay and Market Place-sourced parts. It's completely flat where I live so primary use is bridle trails and the local pump track.
Mechanically sound (and photographs well!) but the frame was resprayed by a previous owner using rattle cans and is only just hanging. It might receive a respray in the future but for the moment, it's the sort of thing that one doesn't have to be too precious over.
Specs: [Updated July 2022]
Frame: Cotic BFe26 (2012-ish? Reynolds 853 DT, 44mm HT, 135mm QR rear end and Dropper Post Provisions)
Fork: Fox Float RL 140. Messed with by TF Tuned.
Wheels: Mavic 717 on DT Swiss 240s. 54T ratchet upgrade. Schwalbe Table Top 26 x 2.25".
Brakes: Shimano XT M775 levers mated with M755 '4-pot' calipers.
Drive: Shimano XT M780 - 10 speed. SuperStar 38T Narrow-Wide.
Finishing: Hope Headset, Easton Haven Bar / Stem, Oury Grips, Brand X Ascent 150mm dropper Post and Charge Spoon Saddle, Rust Converter
Initial build.
As it stands - Autumn 2021.
Cheers!
