Apologies if this is a re post but just couldn’t believe build price on this bike…

Its really tempting.. hopefully we will see that build price in the UK

1) the build shown in the pics is SC’s more flashy one. The ‘build from $xxx’ statemet at the bottom will refer to the ‘budget’ deore/float r shock/recon fork build.

2) Generally with SC the cost in dollars over there is not far off or even the same as the cost in pounds over here.

So a bit over 2k for a relatively ok spec fs 29er. Sounds reasonable value for what is reported to be a great bike, but not outrageously bargainiferous.

I realised the bike pic wasn’t the spec at the basic price..

I was more looking at the cost of the frame alone compared to cost of complete bike… when you look at it like that its a bit of a deal 🙂

why would anyone buy frame only at those prices?
