    what bike

    Scott - hands down - no contest when it comes to the design and technical aspects. Spec is spec in the end but the heart of the bike is the frame. Make sure you get the best one...
  2. Hi Sharkie - having some friends in the industry I can confirm 100% that Giant does not make the Scott carbon frames, the Giant factory in Taiwan assembles the bikes but the Scott carbon frames are made in the Carbon factory TTC which is Scott carbon manufacturing facility. Interesting to know that Giant make more money out of assembling bikes for other brands than they do selling their own bikes..
  3. Guys how can you compare a custom designed Scott MTB carbon frame with IMP3 technology which incldued the SDS damping system built into the rear stays to an off the shelf carbon frame?? - Firstly saying that the Momsen is the same price as the Scott certainly proves that the Momsen brand is over priced. Scott have a in house carbon engineer and own their own molds as well as their own carbon production facility. This will certinally cost more than the decal designing that has gone into the Momsen frame. Also knowing a little about the carbon frames and the quality control required to tune the carbon lay-up, I know the correct setup required by the carbon engineers requires a huge amount of trial and error with testing and riding - something a chinese owned factory will not do. Oh yes, did I forget to mention - Momsen bikes/frames are not made in SA, Momsen is based in SA and does all the decal designing here.

    Momsen Quality

    I think the Momsen frames are made in China. I hope the carbon frames are not the same quality as the Raleigh RC team ones he did?
