Has anyone on here NOT just ordered a Scott CR1 frame

I can see why everyone eats out - it's no more expensive when it's $10 for a Burrito bigger than your head.

But lets be fair, in your case that isn't a particularly large burrito!

You see. Apart from me the only ones that haven't bought one have already got one. I tried to tell the wife about the emotional trauma this was causing but, strangely, it didn't wash.

I havent. I'm poor.

I might have to sell a kidney (or the EPO's at the very least)

Pete you should certainly buy one.

steviemidnight

Has anyone actually have this frame yet and if so

do you think you can fit crud Raceguards on with 23mm tyres?
Just thinking of updating my commuter

markhewitt1978

What is this anyway, is it still for sale?

Two words. First word four letters, rhymes with duck. Second work three letters, sounds like toff.

Saying that, if it was Hollowtech II & 27.2 seat post I'd be all over it. Can't be bothered adding the cost of a carbon seatpost and chainset.

Oh who am I kidding, could always put in storage and build next year...

I haven't got one, and as I'm a sucker for a bargain, it is paining me to watch them all go!!

In saying that, I have my beautiful matt black carbon Felt, and I'm loving it. I think the superior frame would be wasted on me, and I'd have to get someone else to build it for me, thereby reducing the percentage saved. That's my stance and I'm sticking to it!!

I think Asprilla has one of those matt black Felts.
Actually now that these Scotts are two a penny maybe people will realise it's a Scott.

Everyone will think its a Chinese fake because it doesn't look like theirs.

I am happy with what I have, thanks very much.

If anyone's bought one and is using an LBS or a proper drift to remove/replace the BB without breaking the bearings (ie if you're changing to a SRAM/FSA/Campag chainset), let me know and I'll exchange some beer notes for the BB as the one on my R3 is a bit ropey and needs replacing.

According to Epic cycles it may just work.

Or run it with sks raceblades, as the guy at Epic does

menthel

Still haven't purchased one!

I have tried both on mine and they fit and work, but any thing else you will struggle

MrSweary

They are such a steal I haven't bought two! Very excited about them not being delivered later this week

markhewitt1978

Anyone ridden their build yet? How are they to ride?

spasypaddy

I've only been into MTBing so far and really want an excuse to get a road bike and these Scott frames appear to have canine testicular qualities that would make them a great first foray into tarmac-specific riding. I'd love to get one but....

We have a recently adopted two year old boy
I already have two bikes currently in bits in the throes of being rebuilt
Just bust my netbook so need to replace that
Lost my regular glasses last week so need to get some new ones

In a year's time it might just have been feasible

Sell the child, forget the computer and the glasses...n+1....Life's too short

Well, you are running out of time to not order a CR1 SL : out of more sizes now.

mroli

I've not ordered one and told my wife proudly that I had resisted the temptation. Instead of focusing on the £1500 that I would have saved and the further £500 that I saved by not buying it - hence saving the family £2k, she asked me: "Do we have £500 spare cash floating around then?" That was a bit awkward...

mudcow007

Oh oh oh me! i aint ordered one either, i planted the seed with the mrs last night that i do actually really need a new bike

im not exactly confident though, i needs carbon!!
