Which Carbon HT for the 2k mark?

DORSETVDUBSTER

Hi Guys I'm looking at buying a new HT this week ready for the Easter Bank Holiday weekend. I have narrowed my list down to three but I am open to further suggestions!

Specialized Stumpy HT Carbon
Cannondale Taurine 2
Scott Scale 20

Why do they put LX kit on 2k+ bikes? :evil:

Scotty :P

my personal choice would be the spesh, purlt because there carbon HT are inceridble. The spec looks good and i wouldn't worrie about the LX bits and bobs because you'll be getting a full biuld and everything should be in working order

hope that helped

I initially thought the Stumpy but I cant find any reviews on the net, however the Taurine with lefy fork and the Scale have rave reviews!!

Too much choice :?

Find LX kit on bikes like this because the frames cost at least a grand each!

Also:

Zaskar Carbon:

XT kit, with XTR shifters

Thats a nice bike but I'm not a great lover of the GT frames.

Any comments on the above three bikes, I'm starting to feel the Scott as the reviews are excellent!

Ouch! That GT frame is the worst carbon frame I've seen!

Aestetically I mean

Scott Scale. Great bike and lots of good reviews.

I've had no luck today trying to find a Scale 20 size medium in the South West!!

cjw - I forgot to say what an awesome bike your 10 is, what year is it?

Scotty :twisted:

2007. The 2008 is same frame but changed to XTR kit from SRAM X0. I prefer the X0 personnally.

How about Pedal On - http://www.pedalon.co.uk/acatalog/scott_scale_20.html

They're in Hampshire. Looks like they've got Medium's in stock.

Order a Giant XTC carbon for under a grand and then upgrade as and when.

Sorted.

Thanks for that mate but they are a little too far away as I'm actually based in West Dorset, plus they are closed on Sundays!!

DORSETVDUBSTER

I just bought a Scott Scale 20 from Bike-Lab at Poole. I would recomend them as the service was excellent!
