RetroJIMs Cotic SolarisMax

They ride really nice and are FAST. Fitted a 120mm fox 34 and think it suits well. If I went for lighter tyres it could be faster but I’m a big guy so not too worried.

Seem very versatile. Looks great.

Some parts have arrived! But still no mech hanger

I'm also waiting on an SRAM XD freehub so I can't fit the new cassette.

I've gone with SRAM GX. The new cassette is fecking massive! 12 speed 10-52. The front is a 32. How things change...

Thankfully yes, I'm just impatient
