The usual story.
I’ve had a Cotic Solarismax for 2 years, then I think it was Beeb ? PYR a Carbonda FM936.
After doing the Dragon Trail on my 2021 Optic, I thought a light weight Marathon bike would jump me up the finishing ladder from 200 to 199.
Strip Cotic, build Carbondale.
After 7 months, thought I’d sell the Cotic, still in mint condition with headset, collar, bottom bracket, axle & spare hanger for about 70% of the new price.
Low ballers suck, no way I’m going to sell the frame for $400.
Since I like building bikes as much as I like riding them, figured a gravel bike / road bike was the go.
Zero knowledgeable on rigid forks, stumbled across the Trifox, pretty cheap, but no real reviews that I can find.
Any feedback brain trust or an alternative ?
BTW, the Carbonda is made as well as the Optic.
