Hi Folks,

Can one of you technical bods help me out???

I am looking at buying a Scott S20 :D

But I have a choice of the 2010 model at £899 or the 2012 model at £999.

I prefer the colour of te 2010 model 8) but..... will the spec be better on the 2012 model??

Its only £100 more so if the specs better i'd probably get it but if its not then ill get the 2010 one.


whats the difference?
help!

:? :? :? :?

    If you list the spec of each then I'll lwt you know!

    Also think about re-sale value. People wont pay much at all for a 5 year + bike regardless of condtion, and the 2010 is already 40% there...

    :wink: The 2012 has the 5700 new shimarno 105... This runs both the brake and gears under the bar tape Campag style. Worth the £100 to not pick up AM radio right!?

    FWIW I eould get the 2012 model as I feel under the bars is a much better look and there is a £130 price differance between the 5600 and 5700 shimarno 105 - thats where the discount has come from.
