So here we are again my friend! My first build was my COTIC Solaris Max, Mountain Death Project! The FIRST build! And it was epic! British Racing Green, smattered with camo and orange bits. Just...really wicked!
That bike made me a better rider! Long, low, slack and fast! A big wheeled beast of a bike...
Then? It was gone. Sold to a friend of mine on a whim one day. But lo, the day has come that Mountain Death Project is back! COTIC released the NEW version. Nothing too crazy, steeper seat angle, and more versatile frame. And a sweet looking SuperNova Orange! I'm in! I ordered one, just in time for them to be sold out, once again.
This build will shame the last one. And that one was epic! But, this one will be tamer in a way. Less travel. Last time I ran 160mm on a 140 max frame...oops! This time we'll keep it at 140mm. A bit steeper head angle, but still slack. The BFe Calver Death Project is for more radical after all.
It'll be light. Quick. Nimble and as versatile as my ECR, but in mountain gear. It's going to be a pretty radical XC bike...Wireless drivetrain, narrower tires, light, fast. It's going to be what the original Was NOT...but better. You'll see...
