English steel frame manufacturers ‘Cotic’ and ‘Singular’ each have a new whip ready to hit the market that has me frothing at the mouth. Been a long term admirer of Cotic’s ‘Simple’ single speed frame, which has just been reinvented in the larger wheel format. Need a long travel, hard tail single speed? This is probably going to be it. The other frame I’m excited about is Singular’s new ‘Buzzard’ model, a long travel, hard tail ‘all mountain’ bike. I’m not a racer, and my idea of a fun bike has short chain-stays, big tyres, can be thrashed downhill, has jumping ability, and can handle being pointed uphill. This one is definitely going on Santa’s shopping list.
I thought you wanted a 26?
N+1.
That’ll be both of them, then?
