There’s little more satisfying for a bike enthusiast than turning a pile of shiny new bits into a complete bike that's ready to ride. To see the hours of consideration and compilation come together perfectly into a rideable bike is truly satisfying.
I chose the Cotic SolarisMax as the base for my longtermer build as I wanted a versatile frame that could be fun across a wide range of riding. Cotic’s Solaris Max finds a beautiful balance between a light, agile, and inspirational feel on flow while still being planted enough that I am not left white-knuckling the handlebars when the trails start to get steep, techy, and fast.
