Everyone really enjoyed working with Cotic at Soho Bikes. We mainly sold their "road" bikes, the Roadrat and Escapade. These proved really popular; I remember a photo Mariusz took for Insta of 8 or maybe 10 Coric bikes we'd received that week for customer orders, all lined up in the shop and ready to hit the streets. I think the caption on the post was along the lines of "Central London's biggest Cotic dealer" (I think at the time we were the only Cotic dealer in London). We'd usually received Cotics once a week on a Friday and Sam from Cotic would often write notes to Mariusz on the inside of the bike boxes taking the piss out of him. Marisuz built up an orange Roadrat frameset with drop bars (the Roadscapade or Escarat) as his commuter bike, fitted with green bar tape and green Ortlieb panniers. It was quite a machine. We are really touched that Cotic have contributed this Cascade frameset (frame and steel forks) to the fundraiser. It's in the auction winner's choice of colour and size, and Cotic will throw in a couple of bottles and some socks for the winner too. The frame will be shipped direct from Cotic and be provided with a full warranty.

The reason for organizing this auction is to extend a helping hand to the family of #MarioTheDestroyer during their time of need. Mario was not just a beloved member of our community; he was a cherished friend and companion to many. His sudden departure has left a significant void, and we want to honor his memory by supporting his family in this difficult time. By participating in this auction, every bid contributes to easing the financial burden of funeral expenses, allowing the family to focus on grieving and healing. Your generosity will ensure that Mario’s family can give him the dignified farewell he deserves, while also providing them with the necessary support and comfort during this challenging period.
We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone that has contributed toward these Auctions!
