Cotic Soul in Duck Egg!

[konaben82]

...So, here is the latest addition to my never ending list of bikes, I bought most of it brand new (including frame and forks) so it's cost a small fortune...

I think the colour is either a 'love or hate' type colour... I love it!

I think a dropper post is on the cards at some point and a higher spec chainset... a better saddle maybe too

I'm actually broke at the moment though now!!

I've taken it out round town for an hour the other night (we had no rain for once) and it rides beautiful! very responsive and comfortable, also feels really light to ride

the low seat was literally just like that when it was being built/testing gears

Roll on summer!

oh its a lovely colour, Cotic are good at colours, though the teas are not as nice.
Did you keep the gear cable one piece to keep the dirt out?

 

[konaben82]

yes I did... it has 2 hose routes under the top tube, one for the rear disc, one for a dropper post...Ive used the dropper post one for the gears...this will obviously have to change if I get a new post!

 

[konaben82]

front disc hose needs to be replaced too.... it's well tight!

Ah I see, didn't think of dropper guides. Need to look at my cut and guided rear mech as the outer buckles into the spokes a tad. And yep Hoses have had to get longer to help with super long forks now I also had that problem!

I bought wor lass one as a wedding present. She loves it. I've been looking at 2nd hand ones to replace my C456, but they seem to hang on to their value

Nice! I do like it with white forks I must admit, might have to sort that out at some point!

That's lovely. Cotic do indeed do some great colours.

What do you reckon to the Deore brakes? I reckon they're fab, especially for the money.
