Excited, as a Med COTIC RoadRat frame and forks arriving soon.
I went for medium since 59cm eTT is what I like…and at 170cm tall I am outside the normal range for the bike, but Sam at COTIC has advised in line post and short stem should work. It’s going to be a gravel-commuter (10 miles to work…10 miles back).
SS or 8speed?
Hope 23 internal rims and want tubeless but 42c tyres or 45c?
165 or 170 cranks?
140-160 discs or 160-180?
Flat bars but what sweep and rise?
Width and model of mudguards?
I will build slowly, measuring the geo as it builds up, and then making decisions about stem length, bar shape etc.
Should be a fun build.
