I want to pick it up and Brant to pose for photos handing over the boxes like giant novelty cheques.

What are the dimensions of the frame box?

I miss calling in to pick up ordered stuff from the Barnsley and then the Rotherham stores. I've always thought that a Screwfix or Toolstation front of desk type arrangement would work for picking up and probably work better than staffing a full store.

Med orange hovering in my basket, if I had wheels and fork I'd be all over it. Not sure I can afford it currently......

Brant, any chance you can do this as a build it yourself deal but not a complete bike?

For example I need a headset, gears, bb, etc but I don't want those forks, wheels or tyres.

Or would that be getting too complicated?

I would like a good deal on the fork!

This would be a complete bike either discounted or 10% off full retail if you want to come and build it yourself.

No SRAM parts available on their own due to our OE agreements about ensuring safe assembly on a bicycle.

Probably stretching the limits of genuine replies a bit here Brant.

Just about to pre-order the Scandal 29, but O-O have lumped £20(!!!) on for postage.
£20 seems pretty excessive. I'm sure this wasn't there last time, Brant?

@brant - any idea on the weight of the scandal frame.

I don’t need one.... but it’s in the basket!

I would imagine its a bit under 2kg. I don't have a figure here but it's certainly not a biffer, nor an XC flyweight.

Sure thing. They are just having stickers stuck on then. I reckon 6-7 weeks. That's not quite Christmas is it?

Hmmmm - tempting. I've got a Scandal V1 which one of these could replace, or maybe just "sit alongside" depending.

What size for a 6'1" normally proportioned rider - Large?

The steel frames are significantly more than the alloy ones. And come with a fork in two cases. But preorder discounts of course. And bikes.

On the steel ones? God knows. Someone's just told me we are painting some of them, but I can't remember which.

Will be clearer when they're ready to put on the boat.

Hi Brant
Boring question re the Scandal - could you comment on sizing please? At 6'1" what size should I order, large ?

Can someone explain.....

Pike rct3 - the pooches whatsits
Pike rc - slightly simpler but still the same damper.
Revelation charger rc - how is that different?
Revelation rc - motion control
35 rl - motion control, how is that different? Is it just like the old rl forks where the compression adjuster is 4 clicks for normal ~15 to lockout. In which case what does the rc get you other than a topcap that looks like the charger one but with less pixie dust*?

Yours,
Confuddled of Berkshire.

*same expensive pixie dust as goes into 853 tubes.

P.s. do they all use the same CSU regardless of travel? If i get a 120mm set and a 130mm (or 140, 150, 160) air shaft is that going to work or do they trim the tubes to save weight?

Me? I liked our old 18in frames, and I am 6'1 and a bit.

I think all the 5'8" modern geometry fans are riding XLs aren't they?

(Yes, I would go large, though I ride steep stuff, if I was nodding along tracks an XL might be better).

Brant
Close to pulling trigger on full build - couple of queries. What’s the code for the £200/ £150 off? Tried the earlier preorder code but only worked on frame only. Also live near Sheffield what’s chance of collection (know this has been asked previously!)

Undecided on colour, keep flitting between both. How’s the orange looking ‘real life’
Cheers

What's everyone's opinion of the build for £800?

I got my email yesterday asking if I wanted to upgrade to a full build.

Am I right in thinking the forks are similar to how the old revelations were but with 35mm sanctions?

The wheels and tyres look very heavy and cheap.

The sram sx 1x12 is really good at that price point and the planet x / oo finishing kit is OK.

Just wondering about taking them up on the deal.

Thanks

£100 off a frame right now with code PREORDER100
and £200 off a complete bike with code PREORDER200

This seems a bit harsh.

Seems like a proper bargain for £800. Used to have a V1 Scandal back in the day and I have a hankering for a winter hardtail after not having one for a few years. This is really tempting me...!

Pre ordered a frame just now. I want to built it up as a singlespeed do it all/ winter bike and was wondering what my options are for a singlespeed conversion.

Sorry brant, don't get me wrong, Its an £800 bike, they are decent wheels for a bike that price just not what I'd want to ride.

How many sets of bottle bosses? Just down tube or seat tube as well? One of pics on 'Scandal through the years' show 2 sets, but I can only make out one set on frame pics. Ta.

Sprung or unsprung tensioner. Push down works in almost all cases, push up works with gears that need slightly less tenioning.

Blackspire stinger style tensioner (potentially neater but limited tensioning range like any push up tensioner)

Trickstuff eccentricer (pricey, also limited tensioning range)

Limited tensioning can be overcome by adding a half link, dont use an entire chain as they're not great. Half links rule out cheap narrow wide rings so you have to source a propper ss chainring which arent as common as they once were as everyones making n/w by default. My preference is for sprung push down tensioners, they generally just work with little or no setup or adjustment required.

No. Just one.

Bootzippers have two at least.

Bugger was getting excited! Defo shot on IG showing Big Dog with rack mounts and 3 sets of bosses. Perfect all-rounder 😁

Proto. How would someone who couldn’t afford a dropper post drop their saddle?

Any chance to have a dropper as an option on the upgrades section on the order?

Potentially at some point.

We’ve been quite taken aback having shifted well over 100 in a week so we’re retuning our logistics to supply the demand.

@thisisnotaspoon I've not seen the 35 yet but the "charger" damper in the rev charger isn't actually a charger. It's another damper using an ifp instead of a bladder. It's somewhere between moco and a real charger performance wise.
