But it’s dying slowly Known for their staunch marketing position against the proliferation of new wheels sizes (check the video at the end of this story) , Cotic have finally thrown in the towel on their long serving and founding product, the 26 inch Cotic Soul.

According to the Cotic website the 26 inch version of the Soul will soon be no more as they have taken the decision to discontinue this diminutive, iconic Northern hardtail in favour of producing more 27.5 versions. It’s not all doom for the Cotic 26 range as they have also confirmed that the 26 inch BFe26 will continue, despite a temporary shortage of medium frame sizes at the moment.Cushions For Outdoor Furniture Deep Seating From the Cotic website…White Cot Bed Bedding Sets …unfortunately for our founding product we have decided that the current batch in stock is the end of the road. Leica Compact Digital Cameras BestWhilst BFe26 sales are still strong, at the lighter weight, higher end of the market the 27.5 and 29 inch wheels have pretty much taken over.

At the current level of sales compared to the 27.5 Soul and 29 Solaris we can’t justify another batch of Soul26. We need to be able to move at least a batch per year, and over the last 12 months it has dipped below this point, whereas Soul275 sales have rocketed right from the moment we introduced it. We’re sorry to be saying this, and it’s weirdly emotional for us given that – as I said – it’s our founding product. However, the Soul lives on in the 275 version, and times change. We’ve always said we are all about building Modern Steel Hardtails. If that doesn’t include 26″ wheels anymore, then so be it. So, this is your last chance to grab a 26 inch Cotic Soul. As the old saying goes, when they are gone, they are gone. Here’s Cy talking to a less beardy Mark at the Cycleshow way back  in 2009 about the Soul, among other things. Read our review of the Cotic Soul 275 Posted on: March 13, 2015 Singletrack MagazineLog In | Tiffany “New York” Pollard, a reality TV veteran who’s still doing reality TV, has been selling grim t-shirts on her site that read “David Is Dead,” casually referring to David Bowie.

If that wasn’t already distasteful, it seemed even more so now that her former cast mate David Gest has died. Gest was found dead in a Four Seasons hotel in London early Tuesday, at which point Pollard’s t-shirt was still available for sale on her site. Pollard’s rep insists the shirt was an unfortunately timed coincidence and they’ve since been removed.The shirts were originally intended as a joke made in reference to Pollard’s freak-out in the recent season of Celebrity Big Brother U.K. The scene below shows the moment when Angie, Bowie’s ex-wife, tells Pollard that Bowie has died (“David is dead,” Angie whispers); Pollard mistakenly thinks she means their housemate David Gest and starts hollering. Pollard was apparently unaware of Gest’s death and retweeted the correction from her PR team.
