John loved the Cotic Escapade 853 he reviewed last year. They’re great bikes. And to celebrate their greatness, Cotic just announced a Made in the UK Escapade. Available in limited supply, direct from Cotic today…

This is the best Escapade Cotic has ever made. Supple, tough and light Reynolds 853 tubing carefully crafted into the perfect ‘life-bike’, handmade in the UK with a choice of a la carte colours.

Comfortable, stylish, fast and durable; the Escapade UK 853 is a small batch limited edition bike, built right in Great Britain. It adopts our well proven, award winning, geometry. Disc brakes all round. Drop bars. Tyres big and floaty, or small and fast. All the fittings for multiple bottles, rear rack, anything cages on the fork and full mudguards. Just because a bike is functional doesn’t mean it can’t be special.

This is a connoisseurs gravel bike with the best ride quality, the 853 UK edition saves weight and gives this Escapade an extra spring in it’s step. All the heritage of Reynolds tubing with modern performance and versatility.
