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.

I agree, but I think it's very much a case of lack of use prompting a change. I need to ride it and it will feel better.
Partially though I've realised that I had left the old chain on too long, and now with a new chain either the chainring or cog is so worn that it slips terribly - will play around with that but it is rather annoying. It would be a great bimble bike for over the holidays.

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.
