Scott Addict RC 15

My bent over aero bad back days are over and wanted a more comfortable ride nowadays so the lockdown purchase was the Scott Addict RC.

Opinion split about the 'gum walls' and saddle combi but i love it. Bit different and looks better in real life.

Size 56. 7.7kg. rides a dream.

    I know a lot of people think most modern bikes look similar, and I may be a bit biased, but in my opinion the Addict and Foil are really good looking bikes.

    Congrats, and I hope you enjoy your purchase, I can't see any reason not too!

    Great looking bike. If it was me, I’d go all black and lose a couple spacers. But great looking none the less.

    What a stunning bike. Great choice.

    The tyres complete the bike but I'd get a black saddle. Down to you though live your life.

    Tyres look good, but they are massive... you doing Paris-Roubaix?

    Yeah I think at some point I will loose one but my back isnt great and the higher front is much more comfortable. Funny enough as part of the deal I git free accessories on a points scheme so have a free pair of 28C GP5000s. ...

    Tried the all black and it looked too normal if you know what I mean. I suspect at some point I would go down that route however.

    Swapped out the saddle for black cut out Syncros Belcarra.

    Veloflex Corsa Evo tyres 28C. Lovely lighter, smaller gum tyres with revoloop tubes.
