Scott Speedsters any good?

jon208

Hi
I'm just getting into road biking and have been looking at the Scott Speedster range of bikes. I've got a Scott Genius RC20 MTB which is the best bike I've ever had so am very happy with the quality of the brand. After doing a search I can't find much about Scott road bikes, do they make decent road bikes or am I better off going for somthing like a Bianchi etc?

Regards
Jon

I have an Scott S40 and love it . Got a good deal on it but would be happy with the same again. Finish on weld/joints IMHO is neater than on some similar price bikes. Changed saddle and brake pads but all else is 100 %

They seem ok.

However a couple of things to bear in mind. They seem slightly more expensive than other brands of an equivalent spec, and I've not heard good things about their frame warranty.

I've got a 2007 S20. Got a pretty good deal after an un-named online retailer messed up my order... Very happy with it - fast, light and responsive with pretty good kit. This year's models look pretty nice too.

I had one a while ago, only reason I changed it was due to the very poor roads round here, and the urge to go up bridleways when out on the roady..... hence me getting a Kaffenback...... Back on topic- excellent quality, and as for frame warrenty..... I dont think I've heard of a better company. There are reports of frame failures on the Scott Ransom MTB's (ally framed) and in all cases the frame has been upgraded to a carbon on under warrenty. I assume that Scott have sorted out any possible design issues by now.
