They're so cheap...
If I do, I nearly have enough bits already to rebuild my Carrera, initially as a rigid singlespeed hippymobile. I'd need cranks, a front wheel, and a stem, as well as a headset for the Scandal. The Scandal frame's pretty significantly lighter than the Carrera, so would be nicer for my style of riding (I know I'm going to fall behind going downhill, so I aim to leave everyone for dead going up). It's also very, very cheap at the moment... Also, I'd be able to sell/give away my Vitamin, as the Carrera could assume its duties pretty flawlessly.
People who've ridden them: How are they?

WAIH - Yes. Although the Ti 456 has dropped in price too.. to a very tempting amount
A scandal frame arrived at my house last night.. opened the box, and it's amazingly well built for the price.
Sadly, it's not for me
I like the service from On One, and so far, the Carbon 456 I had and the Scandal have both looked amazing 0 -
Lol, I know mate, was just saying it's a good deal as well.
Don't get me wrong, as above, a Scandal frame arrived at mine yesterday, and it looks amazing and well worth the money 0 -
£175 for the frame, a headset and a front wheel. Nice.0

Anyone got some spectacularly cheap cranks/BB? Not bothered about chainrings.0

Screw you then, I'll keep my pretty bike and not feel bad.0 -
£20 on Ebay and CRC has sorted me out useable cranks and BB. Just need a stem now, but I'll wait until I've ridden the Scandal to see what length I need.0

I got a few stems kicking about, let me know what you are after.0

Excellent! I'll let you know once I've built and ridden the Scandal.supersonic wrote:I got a few stems kicking about, let me know what you are after.
