Cotic built this art-bike version of its steel-framed gravel ride to celebrate British Cycling's Cyclocross National Trophy Series.

We have to say, we dig the colorway, which manages to catch the eye without going overboard.

“For the build, some Italian flair is rolled in with Campagnolo EKAR, ably supported by HUNT wheels,” Cotic Founder and Director Cy Turner told BikeRumor in an email. “WTB tires and saddle to bring some CX sensibility to the build. As with every single Cotic bike, it was assembled at our UK base. It has been custom painted by Five Land Bikes , and is genuinely unique.”

Cotic will first display the bike Saturday, Nov. 19 at a sold-out live recording of the Never Strays Far podcast. Then on Sunday, the bike will show up at the Never Strays Far tent during round four of the National Trophy Series at Torbay Velo Park in Devon, U.K.Turner sent BikeRumor the build details; here they are straight from the man himself.Cotic RB5 fork: Taperer steerer, full carbon construction, Anything Cage bosses on each leg.
