For Sale COTIC SIMPLE - late, orange, for 5-2 to 5-8 riders - 853 steel

[2manyoranges]

Amongst the ‘to be built’ frames hanging in the workshop I have a gorgeous late 853 COTIC SIMPLE which was to be for the Grom but he has shot up and it will no longer fit him.

The COTIC 853 frames need no introduction really, they are truly classic frames which ride wonderfully. So light, so strong. I would have this for myself but I can’t really justify yet another steel framed bike amongst the others in the stable.

Can be SS or geared since it has the optional derailleur hanger dropout. Truly wonderful frame in perfect condition. SOUL geometry. In classic COTIC orange. Can include Hope headset and seat collar if needed. I think a Shimano BB if I recall but I can check later.

275 plus postage.

I have some RS Reba freshly serviced if required.

Here are photos - it’s got invsitape on it so the black marks are just marks on the tape...

Does the derailleur hanger attach like a BMX chain tensioner? (clamped in by the axle bolts/skewer)

 

[2manyoranges]

Exactly - like this ...
