Kind of an odd-ball :)

I found this frame NOS last year. Built it up recently to do less gnar gravel / ATB duties .. It is running 47c semi slicks and a Jones-style Geoff bar. Pretty fast and light, although nothing fancy. I had to wrap the top tube pretty heavily as the daft bars whack it pretty good. The brakes are BB7 road, so I’m using SS5 (cantilever) brake levers for a retro vibe and of course the correct pull ratio. Transmission is 1x9 with a sram attack grip shifter commanding an XT rear mech. Hope pro4 Rear hub and SP Dynamo hub

It’s a small size .. which Cotic only produced briefly before reverting to Medium-upwards.

I think I will put some different tyres on soon, Maybe a phat 650b tyre on the front and a 2.0 29er on the back
