Let's offroad / mountain bike / mtb / ride dirt

I'm not leaving the country. Where'd you try the Whytes?

Which T-130 did you try? Looks like a great bike to chuck around.

At a trade demo near the Cotswolds. Not the most demanding test tracks available but enough to get a fair idea that the bike is pretty great.

T-130 S.

Anyone know of any uncut carbon rigids for 26" wheels? Second hand and scuffy is fine, trying to convert my GT into an aggressive 1x10 commuter....

Something like this would be mint

Axle type/cost?

135mm X 12mm

V. interested... price? Why are you getting rid of it?

I went boost for a new frame. Not sure what prices are like. Offer a fair price and it's yours.

Seems to have some use... £60?

Deal.

Sorted will message.

I know a lot of people don't really see the point of making steel full suspension bikes, but I think these new Cotics look great.

Yep, look lurvly

But yeah, steel is a tough sell here.

Steel AND single pivot? Retrobike >>>

Mega Avalanche 2017 anyone?

Commentary from Rob Warner during the Lenzerheide UCI Downhill World Cup Race just before the last rider, Danny Hart, was about to go:

"If you were a dog right now you would be chewing a slipper, coz you
don't know what Danny Hart is about to do."

wat

Rideable on a hardtail..?

Steel AND single pivot? Retrobike >>>>

Hardly - it's a bit more sophisticated than true single Pivot, the geo is right on point, it looks fantastic and the 120 29er/130 27.5+ is so right for 99% of UK use.

I predict strong sales given Cotic's reputation, the looks and the overall 'rightness' of the Flare. If I lived somewhere burlier than the Chilterns I'd order the Flare Max now.

Do it anyway! Do it do it doit

Yep, I've got a 120mm travel 27.5plus hardtail that I love, but seeing the Flare max at £1500 for a frameset has got me thinking about putting some coins in the piggy bank for next spring...

I've run out of kidneys

Who says you have to sell your own...

Who says it's only my own I've run out of....
