Afternoon all,

Off work ill and planning a build of a Cotic Soda. Not sure what direction to go with it.. possibly carbon rigid? Maybe more burly?

Anyone got any nice ti-framed bikes they'd be willing to post up for some inspiration?

Also, anyone know if they'll take a cheeky 650b wheel with a 2.1 racing ralph?

I did this with mine:

Weighed nothing- it was kind of hard to ride sometimes because you'd go to ride over something and it'd bounce off instead 😆 But an absolute rocket. I had a set of Sids for it too and it gained a dropper at one point.

(that's a 29er fork, I had a Soul which I mostly ran at 120mm so I wanted it to be the same shape)

I didn't have any problems with mine but they were sort of scarily light, hard to trust. I think Trail Rat broke a steerer on his, though not in a "new face please" sort of a way... They were also a bit too stiff for my taste, if I was doing it again I'd use exotics, had a set of those before and they're heavier but really good.

They look really nice. I much prefer the monocoque ones to the drainpipes like exotic.

Definitely a possibility

Do you know if it could have taken a 650b with a small tyre like a racing ralph 2.1?

No idea I'm afraid- it'd have had a 2.3 rear in it at some points though.

Cove Hummer, Syncros forks, Jones bars. Not turned a pedal for well over a year, should really sell it but i'd get sod-all for it.

You should see the thing that has replaced the towel rail. Can't show you until the official release but its all lovely and bendy and swoopy and I may have taken it to bed and cuddled it and rubbed my gentleman's area on it claim it as mine
