Both are 27.5, one is steel one is aluminium. All of the bits I have from my Orange Four will go straight onto the Clockwork but the dropper post won’t fit the Soul. The Soul is more expensive and will need a different size dropper and is not available in my size and colour just now. Thoughts on the two frames please, I would love another hardtail, with bottle mounts and these are top of the list.

I'm not familiar with Orange bikes, but looking that the pics the 137 looks more akin to the Bfe with the top tube/seat tube brace.
The geometry is quite different - Orange is lower and longer, Cotic is slacker (Cotic is quoted sagged, not static, if you think the charts don't make sense).
You can shim the dropper post on the Soul, to save you replacing it.
