Great video and great work Seb. This bike looks cool. Keep it up and have fun with it. I wish you a happy new year. Ride on and greetings from Switzerland

[@MTBSeb]

Thanks man! Appreciate the comment! Have a good new year yourself!

[@ckMTB]

@@MTBSeb Thanks a lot buddy

[@johnster187]

Thx for the video, such an awesome looking frame and colour and been thinking of getting this frame for a while now so just ordered this exact frame (size M) Sunny Yellow..... looking forward to building my own very soon. 👍🏻 Thx for the inspiration

[@MTBSeb]

Thanks man! Seeing the colour in person, it’s a lot nicer than photos show!

[@johnster187]

@@MTBSeb I agree with that 100%, the website pics don't do the yellow paint justice .........maybe the white back ground is too much.... 👍🏻

[@stevenmaidment]

Nice workshop... 😁

[@MTBSeb]

Does look pretty good doesn’t it!

[@timgrant4519]

they work pretty well the RRP.

Out of interest I am building my Bfe Max up also with regards the the Bottom Bracket is it only one spacer on the drive side is that ok for the chain line 🤔 cheers 👍

[@MTBSeb]

Yup, put one on the drive side and it runs faultlessly

[@jeremie9833]

hey seb ! what seat is that ? thanks in advance! nice video btw

[@MTBSeb]

Thanks! It’s a Specialized Bridge Comp saddle

[@philcross9202]

Nice build what front mudguard are you using? Need

[@MTBSeb]

It’s one of the RRP ones, had it on my previous full suss and it was great

[@2wheelsonline]

15kg! That is heavy! Flowmountainbike have a Bfe in size medium and weighs 13.7kg. It could be even lighter which is my aim when I build a Bfe.

[@MTBSeb]

XL frame, didn’t put much effort into weight saving initially. Managed to get it considerably lighter before it got sold to a new home!

[@allyb5779]

Hi Seb, I'm looking to buy a Cotic and I was wondering what height you are and what size you went for?

[@MTBSeb]

I’m 6’6” with really long legs and went for an XL - they’re big bikes and this feels just a bit smaller than my S6 (XXL) Stumpjumper Evo. How tall are you?

[@allyb5779]

@@MTBSeb I'm 5'10. So I could go medium or large as I'm on the cusp 🤔

[@MTBSeb]

@@allyb5779 ah yeah that does complicate things a bit! I work in a LBS anyway, I’d normally look to put someone of your height on a large, provided they don’t have super short legs. Would you want a more agile bike or something more stable?

[@allyb5779]

@@MTBSeb Hi Seb, that's the thing, I don't actually know if I want it agile or stable. My current bike is a large Whyte t130. I ride a mix of trails from big days out on the hills to enduro trails and uplift days in Innerleithen.

[@MTBSeb]

@@allyb5779 ahh that is a tricky one! Sadly never ridden up there so wouldn’t know what to recommend for those trails! Personally I prefer something a little more stable though
