No they aren't for full length outers, unlike old Scandal frame.

still need to buy a tapered headset for the scandal build.
using standard 1 1/8th steerer suspension forks.on-ones smoothie headset seems fine but a bit expensive?
can anyone else recommend one either cheaper or better at the same price. best place to buy it?cheers

I just ordered a Smoothie and asked them to fit it for me.

Here's a picture of mine finished now,
kitted out with Reba RLT, On one wheel set (in case you hadn't noticed), Sram X9 mechs/shifters, XT cranks, Avid Elixr's, weighs about 24lbs.

Looks goooood!
Is it your first Scandal?
If not, I'd like to know your thoughts from the original Scandal!
Regards.

looks remarkably like the old one, but with a sillier headtube

First 29er Scandal, i traded up from a 26" to get this after falling for the bigger wheels.

prostate saving saddle angle too
There may be a few tweaks yet!
Bazz - what front mech are you using there?
Sram X7 high clamp.

The angle the front near side gear cable enters at the headtube is worrying!
Get that saddle nose up too
Natural contraceptive innit.

Very nice Bazz. Mine is coming very slowly - only the crankset and derailleurs so far!
What headset is that? Looks nice and low.
How are the Rebas? I was holding out for 29er SIDs but I can't see the point as the weight is the same.

Just finished building my raw frame up an hour ago, rides so much nicer than the old Scandal frame, feels a lot stiffer going from old frame with 1 1/8 headtube and fork with 9mm QR to the new tapered headtube and the Reba's with 20mm thru-axle!
I still don't think that the gear cables running under the downtube and not being able to run full length outers is good in winter, but will have to invest in some Gore cables i think.
I'm trying my forks at 120mm first see how it handles, if no good, then will drop them to 100mm.
I've no light in garage, so will post some pics tomorrow.

so what's different about the new one?
Posted 5 months ago # -
Headset is an On-one smoothie mixer, haven't had a chance to ride it properly yet so can't say much for the forks performance but they are light and smooth.

Hey, Ive got one of them, or is this one from a couple of years ago? I cant tell......

no bent tube, old
Posted 5 months ago # -
I'm just going to get my pipe benders out and sort that. You'll never know the difference.

Chainslapp!
You'll also have to re route ya cables, not to mention the headtube!
Posted 5 months ago # -

Posted 5 months ago # -

the dear old and much abused over the years bendytubed scandal is now residing on borrows with someone who's going to make a mini half fat jonesque bike for the winter, then it'll be made into a ss for mrs taz

Finally managed to take a few pictures of my raw frame new Scandal.
I know that the photography/ logo alignment/ cleanliness, is not upto usual STW standards!
Posted 5 months ago # -
Hmmm. That's got me wondering about the green ano finish.....
Posted 5 months ago # -
Must admit took it for the first real ride tonight with the forks at 120mm and i think that it rides great with the slightly slacker front end.

prototype 18 inch bike on cheap sale on the On One site:
Posted 5 months ago # -
anyone bought it, then?
Posted 5 months ago # -
theflatboy,
I've been down to On One and seen the built up Scandal!
Definitely raw is the one to have over the other colours simply because the finish is rough IMO!Posted 5 months ago # -
tk, you sound tempted??
Posted 5 months ago # -
cheers for the info, mate, but i was just giving others a headsup. I'm not able to get any more bikes at the mo!
Posted 5 months ago # -
Chainslapp!
In raw, the bike looks and feels mint, But I won't be buying it. It's too big for me being little(short ar5e)!
Posted 5 months ago # -
