• I reckon you could pick the warlock and use it instead of the Cotic, with big knobs and all the optionals you already have on that one. Since the Stayer is your most used bike, i'd count the similar geo as a pro? It's an investment that might be worth money wise, the real "struggle" might just be the amount of time you'll have to spend to swap everything over

  • I reckon at least part of it is not riding the Cotic nearly enough - like, given the pace and terrain yesterday I reckon a SSMTB would have been ideal - and it is languishing. Think I will get it out a bit more in the holidays for bimbles and that ought to act as a kick up the bum.
    Also it feels a tad frivolous and ungrateful to complain about bike choice when actually, being able to play around with friends and go travel, see places and do things is actually pretty damned special.
    Anyway, I had a play with handlebars today - dirt drops on the Cotic with a tiny stem is actually similar geo to the Stayer anyway. Sweepier bars on the Rockhopper I'm not sure about yet - a bit too much curve, no rise.

  • Ohh ID on those Ergotec bars? Might be ideal for the Moulton

    FWIW I think the curved seat tube on the Warlock looks sick but I hear you re: overlapping bikes, easily done innit

  • If you like the Warlock, go for it, nowt wrong with having similar bikes.
    Glad you enjoyed your time spent in the north with friends.
