Finished my 650b Cotic Escapade this week, lots of fun to ride and so floaty! Christened it on a trip to Aldi where it capably handled a full front loading of assorted tins and meats. Went tubeless today, currently have a very slowly leaking rear but the front seems all good. Overall I'm enjoying it a lot!! Just deciding whether to spend a bit more and go all black on the components or not as it was a bit of a parts bin build.
Well spotted. It's actually a disc trucker fork in 700c so 390a2c, got it as the fork that I could've had from cotic was mountless. It's 10mm too short so makes the head angle half a degree steeper and drops the BB a bit, still handles nicely though.
