Massive thanks to the OP, picked up one of the Addicts in HTC colours.
Maybe not my first choice with the livery on but at that price hard to say no!
Great PSA. I'm sort of glad I didn't see it in time or I'd possibly have been in a lot of trouble with the missus! Well done to all those who got a mega-bargain.
Can't believe I missed this but kind of glad I did. Well done to those who got one.
I've a question though, on such a high end frame why do the cables run externally?
It's a lovely frame and whoever gets one is a lucky bugger.
🙂
I'm sucker for an impulse 'crikey that's a bargin' purchase.
I am left with a part of me hoping they counted wrong and there was one 56cm less than they thought.
I don't really need a road bike. I want one, obviously, but that's not quite the same is it?
[edit] just got a despatch email. Clearly they can count.
External cables? Probably the frame design predates the fashion for internal cables and I'd expect Scott to want to try and avoid diluting the 'advantages' if the Foil.
i'll have it off you wwaswas if you don;t want it!
Order dispatched.
Phew.
Better find some stuff to sell now though.
Same here!
Anyone know if you can fit a normal Sram Red crankset to a BB91 bb/frame?
Frame comes with a shimano press fit BB, so you just need to swap that for a Sram/Truvativ one (I have a Force chainset).
[i]Frame comes with a shimano press fit BB[/i]
ooh, that's good. Good job I didn;t buy another.
What sort of Shimano front mech will it need? I shall be transferring the 10 speed kit from my cross bike and that has a banded front mech.
I think other than road brakes I've got everything else I need.
BTW guys
They are back in stock 😀
Want but how do i justify it? Thought i was happy with my allez.........
Want but how do i justify it?
your saving £1500 !!!! 😀
I've got a '12 CR1 comp, not sure I would notice the slight weight difference but the colours are better... I wonder if its coincidence there are a bunch of these on eBay now...!
Done! Graduation present to myself.
(Never built a road bike, only bought complete. Can I use a 105 crank in the pressfit bb? What front mech will I need? Cheers all)
Vortex you're not helping!
People buying 2 and selling one on for more on eBay to subsidise the 'keeper'?
Wow great price. But by the time you've built it up with some half decent bits, you could have just bought a Canyon Ultimate Al fully built.
....And you'd still just have a Canyon Ultimate Al....
.....Which is a good bike
Well it is but I priced up an ultegra, rs80, and carbon finishing kit for about £2k, using that frame, probably 14 ish lbs.

I've already got some half decent bits on my bike.
I reckon it'll cost me £200-300 to upgrade after I've sold my old frame.
Oh balls. I knew I shouldn't have logged on to see the words, "they're back in stock"....
looks like the website has crashed in the buying frenzy!

well, mine's here.
at the 'crikey that's stupidly light' end of the weight spectrum - there's not many frames that make carbon road forks feel slightly heavy for their size, ime.
Be interesting to see how well the matt finish lasts.
Dunno, it's fine for me....
The Spark 29 pro frame is VERY much catching my eye at the moment, but my plan was to buy a HT for a road/backup use, not anohter FS frame !!! but DAMN that's very cheap.
I think i'd need to change stuff on my Pro2 hub for the rear end though as i run standard QR on it.... I also don't know how this Remote control shifter fit would work as i have a set of Fox F29's with hand operated lockout, i assume this remote stuff is for a specific fork type and ones with bar mounted lockout. I don't mind not having it... but depends how it fits to the frame etc as to whether it would get in the way
Just ordered a 54cm and 5.05% Topcashback discount as well. No more temptation on here please!
You know the old in-joke about spotting a STW forumite by the Audi and the Orange 5 in the trail centre car park?
Well very soon there's going to be fleets of high end Scott bikes on the roads and it'll be "ah right, another STWer then"
😉
Still debating that Foil. It's just that buying the Premium then compels me to buy a £2500 groupset...

all being ridden by people with baggy shorts and mtb shoes 😉

Wearing those garish £15 Scott baggy shorts and the £15 Kona merino jersey while riding them, obvs.

'scuse the part finished kitchen. Waiting for glass splashbacks.
are the highlights bronze or silver?
[edit]
on top tube?
silvery (although more 'yellow' than the lettering) but not bronze.
well maybe light bronze/dark yellowy silver.
that's not much help, is it, sorry.
ta, they look bronze in some of the piccies.
Nice, had to delay my delivery until tomorrow so its good to see what I'll be getting.
Hope you can still afford to finish the kitchen.

I can see the conversation now.
"You know that floor you wanted in the kitchen?"
"Yes"
"Well I'm just building it up with the bits off my cross bike"
"That's fine dear, I'm happy to wait"
Oooh nice. Mine arrives at 10.30.
Photos on your kitchen scale? 🙂
Got all thru to the point of "buy" button, card details all in & then dithered, which made me think, do i really want it. Then had to leave for work. If i really wanted it i wouldn't have hesitated. So there's a 56cm frame there for someone else, no need to thank me
sorry for basic question,
does the roady BB91 limit what cranksets you can put on there - sorry not clued up on roady cranks, my commuter has Shimano 6700/6703 Ultegra & Bottom Bracket...could it be ported directly across or is it a new crankset?
Rocketdog, you've just cost me 500 quid! 🙁
However, I'd been looking at getting a Hong Kong Fuey frame for not much less, and I'm sure this will be better.
Anyone want to by a Giant TCR C3 M/L?
Oh no that Plasma TT frameset looks lovely....
HELP
Shibbo, talk to me about the TCR rocketdoguk(@)gmail(.)com
Any Shimano chainset will fit on the BB91, if you use Sram cranks you'll need to change the cups to GXP, they're around £30.
