Is that a Cotic chain slap protector I see... Don't let Joe see it :P
PS - that's a tidy looking bike.
Hah - yes, it replaced a BFeMax, was the only protector I had to hand so stuck it on
How do they compare?
Pretty similar, i guess - they are not that different geometry wise, apart from the mullet wheel - the Roost maybe a little more bmx-y as a result of that. I bought new wheels and forks when i did the frame swap, so not an entirely apples to apples comparison. BFeMax was a surprisingly good climber, not sure the Roost equals it in that respect, but pretty close.
The main reason for the swap was shiny thing - I saw the Roost and really liked it, not many stainless frames around - always regretted missing out on the one Cotic did years back, couldn't afford it at the time.
We're you running both at 140?
