Finally, for the first time since Keith Bontrager was selling us frames we are able to offer a well-made high-end steel hardtail. When they came in we went all misty eyed and lustful, these frames are gorgeous. Tig welded 853 steel except for the Soda, which is 3AL 2.5V titanium. In fact they look very much like a Bontrager, with gussets in all the right places and slim line wishbone seat stays. The only differences being they have a disc only rear end and the Soul, Soda and Simple are suspension corrected for a 100-130mm travel fork and the burlier BFe is corrected for a 100-150mm travel fork.

As well as mountain frames Cotic also do a hack/road frame and complete bike, The RoadRat

Once you've chosen a frame, check the bottom of the page for some fork and build kit options. Obviously, if you know exactly what you want, or you'd like one of the build kits with some changes, drop us a line and we'll price it up for you.

Prices and weights are for frame only, unless otherwise stated.
