Our singlespeed frame takes everything
that's great about our classic Soul hardtail, and makes it less complicated.
No half measure gear routing 'just in case', no option to hang a mech on
there, just our fabulous hardtail handling and ride feel, with elegant simplicity.
Like the Soul, Simple is a trail riding bike in the truest sense. It gives
you an oversized, thin wall Reynolds 853 front triangle for huge strength to
weight ratio, and the beautiful wishbone stayed Cromoly rear end keeps that
classic steel feel. Cotic Ultra Compact Geometry is featured, with committed
steering geometry correction for 100-130mm forks, steep seat angle and short
rear end for ultimate climbing traction and 'pin the front wheel in'
chuckability.
When choosing how we'd tension the chain on the Simple, we spoke at length
to our friendly singlespeed addicts. The overwhelming message was that
track ends were the preferred option, 'so long as the disc mount works'. So
that's what we did. Our slotted disc mount geometry reads over from our
proven RoadRat design, but attached to a custom machined cowled track end
with integrated chain adjusters.
Reynolds 853 tubing - Because it's the best, and massively strong.
Larger diameter thinwall tubing, at the front end combined with ultra compact frame layout for stiffer, snappier frame.
4130 cromo wishbone stay rear end. Bridge-less S-bend chainstays with Cotic Hexten gussets for improved fatigue life and massive mud clearance.
Huge custom machined cowled dropouts with integral disc mount. Perfect alignment, every time.
Geometry adjusted with commitment! Minimum 100mm travel forks, and handles great all the way up to 130mm travel.
Long top tube, short stem set up (60-100mm stems recommended) for super sharp steering whilst maintaining a comfortable day riding stretch.
Steep seat angle and short chainstays give fantastic climbing traction, and negates the 'nodding dog' syndrome where badly designed bikes pop the front
end up when running long forks.
Sizes - 16", 17.5" and 19". The frames are designed to be compact and chuckable.
Weight - 4.3lbs for the 17.5"
The chart is a guide to frame size. Ultra Compact Geometry means that the frames are small
and long. You can take this two ways. You can either have a regular position coupled with a
small and chuckable frame, or you could go for the next size up and go long and racey without
feeling like you're riding a gate. You lot are just too different to say for sure, so drop us a line
at size@cotic.co.uk and we'll be happy to discuss set up based on what you're riding at the
moment.
