[6thElement]

Photos of the non-driveside eh?

Brakes look like 105, what's the rest?

 

[CSGAS]

is that some titanium goodness?

 

[6thElement]

Diablo opens for the season in 2 weeks, be a few before I can make it there but some of the new features look good

 

[willhub]

It's not titanium, just alloy, just it's apparently a super awesome alloy

Yea I have apparently took a pic of the wrong side, I'll post a correct pic up later

It's all 105 apart from an R700 chainset, I've got Krylion tyres on now too.

Woo! Got my new frame ordered, going to pick it up tomorrow, Cotic Soul in teh sexeh black with the wrap graphics Plus new bars for it as well. Well pleased, I got £50 off the current RRP too. New bike joy!

 

[Bennah]

Never heard of Cotic before, sorry.

What you riding at the moment?

 

[willhub]

Well here is the correct one.

It rides a dream this, 23mph into a headwind I'd usually be doing 18 in

Acceleration is like boom and I'm gone, super fast.

 

[CSGAS]

Can I have it?

 

[6thElement]

That's still a failure on the bike photography 101.

Chain should be on the big ring up front.
Halfway down the cassette.
Wheels rotated to put valve stems at 6 o'clock
Crank arms horizontal

Grab a bargin... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Specialized-E...14&_trkparms=72:1688|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318

Cotic are one of those small-ish UK designed, far eastern made brands, like On One really... This one's a reynolds 853 tubed hardtail built for 130mm forks, basically a modern steel trail frame. I had a go of one at a demo day a while back and it just knocked me out, after about a minute it felt totally right. Cotic hold the Megavalanche hardtail record

Going to have to break up my On One Scandal to build it though. Nice frame, but it didn't work as well for general riding as this should.

 

[willhub]

Can I have it?

You can if you transfer 999 english monies to my paypal account

That's still a failure on the bike photography 101.

Bah... I'll try another one later, but some people seem to think the chain should be on big at front little at back

Better pics, sorry crank arms not correct but oh well.

New saddle, RRP on em is £85!!!, got mine for 35 tho as I gave the shop owner my old saddle too.

They just think it's bling, when really it's crap weighing down the bike

 

[andi]

Beutiful day for riding though
