Best of British?

Guess what's coming in for Longterm test at Wideopen HQ next week...

A Cotic BFe! We'll be running her for 6+ months to give it a good hammering and tons of exposure in the mag. As I'm a short arse Cy was keen to get an XS size frame out into the media so we'll be onboard a tiny blue BMX size frame as of probably next Wednesday!

So looking back at the photos from February, and remembering how awesome the 'small' frame was I hope the 'extra small' isn't too tiny. Back then the bike impressed with a stable and confidence inspiring ride - but I didn't ride it back to back with the Chameleon which really has become my hardcore hardtail benchmark. The comforting factor is, as I'll have to strip down the Chameleon to build her up, she has virtually identical sizing and geometry - just steel instead of aluminium - and perhaps every so slightly heavier (though I will weigh her before I build her up to check)... oh and one last positive, I'll be able to get the Gamut chain guide on a proper rig as well :)

From Scotland - Wideopen trip 26/2 to 27/2/2010
