What's the cassette on that Scalpel? Is it a Recon or sommat, looks different to a normal one.

Has to be said I do like that liteville - love how they've made it look like a hard tail too...

Njee, you wouldn't approve. It's a Red 11-28 🙂
I did have a 32 xx but never really used the top two ratios. For where I ride, this is perfect.

Don't not approve, just not sommat I'd do, would find it too limiting. If it works for you...

What size ring?

My bike retailed at £4k (but didn't cost me that to build), has recently had over a grand spent on it, is carbon, but nooo way would I class it as a superbike. Nice yes, super no.

It has some XT on it and a big S on the headtube for a start!

I posted this on the other thread too. Special edition colour, one of only three in the country according to the importer 8) I'd say it ticks all the boxes. The picture doesn't really do it justice, orange with blue bits (bars, pedals, hubs etc) looks absolutely pimp. Only been out on it a couple of times so far, but it rides pretty nicely too 😀

If your bike has XT on it, it isn't a superbike.

Not a specific stipulation, but implicit IMO.

Yeah, to be a true 'superbike' I'd want to see XX1, carbon wheels, ti bolts throughout etc. No expense spared basically

More money does not always make a better bike ;
For me I can't see why I'd want carbon rims over my arch

I'm light so arch are plenty stiff enough for me
But yes despite only being an enduro I have been worshiping all things weight weenies -ti bolts road saddle etc etc

Is a " super bike " not the best bike rather than most costly

It's about the time and care to build and choose not just cost
But have to agree no place for xt

Whilst I wouldn't spend Enve money I would definitely get some Light Bicycle ones or sommat.

My Bronson. Not only descends well but a brilliant climber too, and it's reasonably light. You can tell I'm a bit of a Hope fan

Agreed, does the carbon tallboy have stealth routing though ?
