Hello everyone!
I have a very special one of a kind Soul frame that I need to sell and before I brave ebay I’d like to see if any other Cotic fans are interested...
It’s a prototype 26in Soul with an EBB from a while ago that I bought direct from Cy after sending him badgering emails when I learned that it existed. I believe it was mostly ridden by Paul as it’s a small, I think Cy said the only other one with an EBB is no longer around. It’s half way between versions please see below for the weird mix of features!
26in wheels
1 1/8th straight steerer
31.6 seat tube
QR 135mm rear end
Geared dropout and cable routing for f&r mechs
EBB for Single-Speed fun with no chain tensioner.
It was also built with a slighty lighter than normal 853 tube set for front triangle, consequently it is a little less stiff than normal and fair bit comfier for XC duties with a short travel or rigid fork, I’ve mostly run it rigid as SS and found it nicer than the Simple I had from the same era.
Cosmetically it looks good from afar but up close the paintwork is in mid-life crisis, plenty of chips, rub marks, scrapes and whatnot but I can say hand on heart it is all cosmetic, no dents or cracks that I am aware of.
I’m selling it with the Ano green headset and Salsa flip lock seatclamp (but not the seatpost) and asking £250 + p&p
