Jun 24, 2026Norco Optic - Gen 2 - Grey/Black - Medium
$670 GBPNorco Optic - Gen 2 - 2020 - Grey/Black - Medium
FRAME & SHOCK ONLY
Comes with:
> RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate DH (125mm)
> Headset Cups
> SRAM DUB Bottom Bracket
> Rear Bolt-Thru Axle
> x2 Mech Hangers
> Norco Optic Seat Clamp
Pinkbike's Trail Bike of the Year 2019!
This is a 2020 MTB Frame, an incredible bike when built up, light, and insanely capable for a Trail MTB. It has got numerous scuffs, scrapes and minor scratches, but nothing that is concerning to the frames integrity. It has been Invisiframe wrapped, but unfortunately this was done after some scuffs had already appeared. Some of which have been covered with some touch-up paint.
Please view the pictures in detail to make sure you're aware of the condition of the paintwork.
The frame and linkage also had a whole new set of bearings about 1 month ago. It has been ridden twice since then and was running beautifully.
This frame is very similar to the newer Gen 3 version of the Optic, however, this one has nicer decals (in my opinion) and no high-pivot, which a lot of people see as a bit of a fad and possibly a faff to maintain long-term.
Please view the Norco Optic bike archive website for the full breakdown of geometry and sizing.
This is a 29er, Medium and will need a 140mm travel fork. I'm 5'9" and the bike has fit me perfectly, any taller then I would recommend the Large size.
Please note this is a 125mm rear travel frame not 130mm. Pinkbike does not have the option for 125mm travel in the drop down menu. The shock is good quality and thanks to the geometry and overall ride feel, this feels like it's a fair chunk more than 125mm travel.
Any questions at all, feel free to let me know.
Will be posted for free at asking price, with tracking in a safe and well padded frame box.

$1799 GBPNext to new Cotic BFeMAX Frame with a custom build. Will be selling the whole bike and won't accept offers on just the frame, forks etc.
A similar build to this built via the Cotic website will come in around £3,450 approx.
The frame and fork have both been professionally Invisiframe wrapped. Also, the bike has been professionally built and serviced as I fortunately work at a bike shop / workshop.
Can be delivered in a box at an extra charge of £50 for postage and packaging. Or collection in person will be free of charge and I'll be available to answer any queries.
Amazing bike, great geometry and super versatile. Only selling out of necessity. Frame has been ridden maybe 5 times (I had a yellow one before which is how I know how good the frame is). Some of the components have been used on previous builds but are still in brilliant condition. Again, I work in a bike shop, so I mean it when I say "brilliant condition".
Full Geometry, Sizing and Frame info:

Pretty sure that's everything, feel free to message if you have any questions. Will be happy to hand this bike over properly in person just outside my workplace. My job is often to do bike handovers so hopefully you'll get a good understanding of what you're buying and will have the chance to buy anything else you might need from our shop. This sale is not in any way affiliated to the shop though.

Jan 17, 2023Cotic BFeMAX Frame & Rockshox Pike Select+
$650 GBP> 2022 Cotic BFeMAX Frame (Medium / Sunny Yellow)
AND
> 2021 Rockshox Pike Select+ DebonAir 150mm (165MM Steerer)
Well looked after and less than a year old. The frame is 2022 and the fork is 2021. I have had a custom frame protection kit put on with a Snowdon contour lines design. The fork has also has custom decals from Slik Graphics to match the frame and has been Invisiframe wrapped.
This is a frame and fork only!! Not the whole bike!
This will include:
> Frame
> Frame Protection
> Frame Fittings
> Cotic Seat Clamp
> Cotic Chainstay Protection
> M-Part Headset
> Syntace Bolt Thru Axle & Mech Hanger
> Rockshox Pike Select+ Fork
> Custom Decals
> Fork Protection
The two will be packaged very well in a suitable box and delivered via DPD Next Day service.
If you want to buy just the frame, or just the fork seperately - then please let me know and we can try to arrange something.
Please note that although the condition is great and as photographed, there are some minor wear marks on both frame and fork. Mainly from a bit of cable rub. I have photographed all of the visible marks.
The steerer for the fork is also approx. 165mm. This is just about long enough for the headtube of this frame but means you will have to have the stem at the lowest possible position only! I have photographed this so please look through the pictures carefully.
Let me know if you would like to ask anything else.
Cheers.
