Tony Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Cotic Roadrat singlespeed bike, size medium (to suit adult height roughly 5'8" to about 6'). The frame has been powder-coated in blue and does not have the original Cotic decals. The paintwork is in fair condition - a bit scuffed but no serious scratches and no rust. Shimano Deore LX v-brakes Continental Travel Contact 700x35mm tyres SKS P45 mudguards pannier rack 42x18 gearing (a spare, unused 16-tooth cog is included in price) touring-spec wheels handbuilt by Alistair Gow of Wheelcraft Please note I am selling the bike without pedals as these are a highly personal thing. If you want to come round and see the bike and take it for a test ride, bring a set of pedals with you and I will happily fit them for you. Please note this is a first-generation Roadrat - they revised the frame design about a year ago and a couple of things are different - e.g. the current Roadrat has the rear disc mount on the chainstay whereas mine has it on the seatstay. Also the current model has a gear hanger welded onto the rear dropout whereas mine has a separate gear hanger which fits over the skewer (should you wish to run gears instead of a singlespeed setup). In summary this is a very versatile bike which can be run with derailleur gears, singlespeed or with a planetary-geared hub (I used it with an Alfine 8-speed hub at one stage). It can also take disc brakes - it has disc mounts front and rear. If you want to know the exact frame dimensions you can get these from the Cotic website - as far as I know the dimensions and frame geometry have not changed since the first-generation Roadrat.
