Cotic Solaris frame and Rockshox Reba forks: A cool little do it all hardtail in time for christmas!

Hi,

Second and hopefully last attempt at getting this sold!

Up for sale is one of the original Cotic Solaris 853 framesets in size small in the green colourway. For more info on the Geo see Cotic's website as they archive the pages from the older frames.

It has a 44mm headtube, QR rear dropouts, a BSA threaded bottom bracket and a really nicely shaped oval top tube. It will come with an FSA headset installed which is perfectly smooth, a Hope seatpost clamp and a set of Rockshox REBA solo air 100mm travel suspension forks.

I've owned this frame from nearly essentially (first owner did 20km...) and have actually used it for only a year whilst I worked in Cambodia. It was great fun to race XC on as well do a 200km bikepacking trip right through the middle of the jungle. One thing to not is that the paint is a little bit scratched in places particularly the chainstay where I had a chain snap on me once while riding (which I like to attribute to my awesome power).

I've toyed with the idea of building this back up for a while and maybe even have a framebuilder add another couple of sets of bottle cage mounts but the reality is I haven't stopped moving around for the last five years and I'm now resigning myself to the life of having one nice bike and a commuter.

I also have some groupset and finishing kit parts in my other thread which would take you most of the way to a full build so happy to cut a deal on those if your interested.

Asking for: £285 (plus postage or collect for free from York)

Any questions fire away!
Thanks,
Ben.

I would have grabbed this if it was larger.

Have a bump.

How tall are you and was it a good fit?

Hey I’m 174cm and this was a good fit for me although after a bike fit now I would probably use a shorter stem if I was to ride it again.

I really need this sold now so moving to eBay unfortunately.
