    Any idea where to look for one of these? Or how much they’ll cost?

    Should be around in January. I’d imagine Sideways Cycles will have a demo model now that they’re an official Cotic test centre. Think the price is the same as a Soul so £420ish.

    As much as your going to find elsewhere is.
    Except the price that has leached out of singletrackworld.

    But wasn’t it you that leached that Tom?

    Nope. I heard it on some non private place somewhere. One of those threads that were slagging stuff or the front page article I think. I think it was from Cy.

    That the thread also slagging 5″ forks on singlespeeds?

    I keep meaning to swap my 125mm Psylos for 80mm Fox Float. Not because the masses say 5″ is wrong - which it isn’t - but because they’re shagged.

    Anyway, £420 - bargain.

    Quite possibly. Can’t be arsed to go look.
    I mean 5″ forks on a hardtail is mental ;0)

    Apparently you can get the same effect just by sticking on some bigger wheels :-o

    > Front Mech: 28.6mm (Top Pull)

    I don’t think that needs to be on the Simple page Kelvin :)

    Thanks Simon, great mistake that! I copied everything across from the Soul page, and clearly hadn’t simplified the specs enough!

    The frames have arrived now by the way :^) Cy’s sent the first few out.

    Kelvin, I saw your photoshoot of the Simple out in the States. Nice.
