OK, I'll bite. You've waited a whole 5 hours before complaining - it's not a lot and more people seem to post in the day than the evening. Also, you've just posted a pic of a bike - no info, not even the model let alone the equipment or why you chose that bike and what you might plan to change or does anyone have any advice on upgrades and why was it you got a new bike after only 6 weeks and how does it ride? What do you want people to say? Make an interesting post and people will reply!

+1 - nice looking bike but I'm with Rolf. Where's the detail and why did you go for it? Come on furnish more detail and I'm sure you'll encourage some more comments.

Why the rolley eyes

Have you not looked at what people have said? People want to know the spec of the bike, why you bought it, has it made a difference, what you use it for (e,g commuting, racing etc) and such like. Just posting a picture of a bike ain't going to get you anywhere. Have a look at the other threads to give you an idea.

i would like all the info on your bike, i have been looking at scott as a possible new bike and it looks good, well i don't like the white stem and spacers but that could change.you need to put more info on.

Hi guys I am really new to all this I bought the b twin and was not comfortable on it at all to stretched pins and needles in hands . So I decided to go to a proper bike shop and get a bike more suited to my shape and size I bought the bike from brain rourke cycles in stoke on Trent . During my 6 weeks with the twin I really enjoyed my riding . So I decided to upgrade and get a better fitting bike , of the six shops I tried they where the only shop that sat me on a bike to measurements and spent over an hr with me . The bikes feel poles apart after 8 miles on the twin I was struggling yesterday I done my first 30 miler in 2hrs 7 mins with no hand problems . The bike is a Scott s50 triple gearing is shimano sora . Alloy forks . Hope this is a little back ground as I said I'm very new to this cheers

The bike did have white handle bar grips but I got them to change them to black

nice bike although i may be a bit biased ........
ps i think you ll find the forks are carbon not alloy unless they've changed the spec this year,
mine s a 2011 model and i love it, i use mine for summer commuting and sportives etc , no problems and its got over 3 k on it now.

Yeh my mistake there it indeed has carbon forks
