took delivery of a Cotic Soul 275 frame today, along with a Hope bottom bracket and a Middleburn RS-8 X-Type crank, with a Middleburn UNO 32T chainring.

Finished bike will look something like this:

Really not hard tbh. I don't see why you island dwellers have such a problem with it :)

I'm also considering a dropper post because while I like the seat up high for climbing and roads, I also like it far out of the way when I'm doing anything technical and I really cba to faff with it.
Yeah. I was thinking of the rockshocks reverb stealth myself but it'll have to wait a helluva long time for me to justify it.

It needs a big lovely comfy seat on it.

Nah. Massively counterproductive. After a couple of weeks your ass gets used to a hard seat and it becomes very comfy - and if you want your cock to keep working then a soft comfy seat is the worst thing as you sink into it and get pressure where you *really* don't want it.

Hard seat = hard cock.

tbh according to the dropper post convert school it earns itself back on the first ride. I'm not too sure about the stealth warranting the extra cash (plus the frame needs to be able to take it). I'd do the normal one and see where things go from there :)

Still not sure though. I'm actually putting some old kit up for sale to get some extra cash in to buy bike shit lol 0_o

Agreed...we need another thread called 'money I've wasted adding expensive shite to my bike that makes no difference to anything'

Lies! I am firmly optimistic that at some point I will reach a level of skill that my absurd component choices will become justified! :eek:

In the meanwhile, my creditcard is crying bitter tears of fear, self loathing and humiliation (just like Wij does when the drugs wear off after a night spent cruising the docks).

That's the exact point at which you will fall off of it and cripple yourself for another x months. :D
