  • not sure if this should be here or FBNPNA but does anyone know anything about the Cotic Escapade? My mate has a Roadrat and I am not a fan of the looks or geo- the Escapade looks much more inline with what I am after, just not a fan of loads of seatpost sticking out. At 6ft 3in I normally ride a 60cm Crosscheck- would the flag pole with a saddle on top look too weird?

  • Would it look weird? I think thats very personal thing. Cotic defines it as "ultra compact geo", and atleast i like it, although mine doesn't have that much seat post showing (compared to some pictures in internets) since i'm a short fella and went for medium. Sizing of these can be a bit weird compared to like road bikes, they have very short reach and loads of stack, which is just perfect for my usage but not necessarily for everyone.

    Other than that, i fucking love mine. Best damn bike i've ever had. Only annoyance is the fork with it's bolt through eyelets and not having low-rider mounts, but you could always buy it without the fork... (frame only is £249) Gonna take gears off for the winter and build it as some sort of frankenmonstersscx 8)
