Everyone is riding those cotic's lately, they good frames then?

and cheep you say ;) i may need to revise the price...

EDIT, Also have more photos at my emailing power...if you want/need them

£100 posted for an 853 rock lobster sounds a bargain to me!

Yeah the cotic is a great frame, just not a rock lobster.

No takers for this on pink bike?

nothing on pinkbike, Not many people on there have a clue on there really, its all kids with silly offers for playstation2s and a kitkat.

So yeah, just want to get rid of this frame. Just doesnt get ridden, was going to single speed it, rigids and some Avid v-brakes.

If I hadn't just built up the Cotic I would've had it, sad times. Hopefully a discerning punter will come along and take it off your hands.

I dropped you a PM last night.

Does anyone have a size chart for this? I'd love it but I suspect it's going to be a bit big for me, I'm a pretty standard 5ft 11ish. Anyone have any ideas?

If it fits i'll take it off your hands

SOLD to Edgar!

PB is awesome if you want to swap your DT Swiss forks for a BB gun, £24, remote control car, a micro scooter, Xbox with 4 shit games and some Haribo

Apparently he forgot about the dent because it's not a problem?

Re: Rock lobster

I'm glad you got it safely.

And about the dent, I am truly sorry, I must of forgot to mention it as it was never a problem for me! That's how I received the frame when I brought it and I've rode it for many a month without a issue, as its steal a dent doesn't effect the integrity of the frame you see. Hence why I forgot to mention it.

Sorry pal.

Damn.

So glad I was skint. Sorry edgar.

Yeah you dodged a bullet there.

More annoyed I was so trusting to send the money as a gift via paypal so he could avoid fees.

Is that on the top tube?

Yeah. I haven't unwrapped the rest of the frame as of yet.
