Nic M Posted August 20, 2012 Share I am looking at getting a Scott Foil but know little about the brand other than Mark Cavendish made it look like a FAST bike. Any thought and experience with Scott Bikes in general or the Foil specifically. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted August 20, 2012 Share Scott are regarded as one of the world's top brands. The Scott Foil also ranks right up there with the best. You cannot go wrong with a Scott. They are a premium brand without the rediculous price tags that come with some of the other premium brands out there. Susanvdb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swim.Bike.Run Posted August 20, 2012 Share If it's good enough for the TdF & Epic contenders, it's good enough for you Haven't ridden a foil yet but it was designed using a wind tunnel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotticus Posted August 21, 2012 Share If you're getting a Foil, please get another and post it to me. Been riding a CR1 for 2 years now and itching to upgrade my frame to the Foil. Edited August 21, 2012 by Scotticus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lower back is telling me that the "plush" ride and more relaxed geometry is a fantastics idea but my (possibly misguided) competitive aspirations tell me I need something more aggressive? Does it ever feel like a compromise...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crasher Posted August 23, 2012 Share I recently got the CR1 pro and I am so happy and impressed with the bike I am no expert on road bikes but it really is a great bike to ride. I would guess the Foil is pretty special dracs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubehunter Posted August 23, 2012 Share http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i25/Tubehunter/ScottAddict02.jpg Here's my rig. I'm super stoked with the bike. It's an Addict R3. It'll be one of many Scott bikes I own. That impressed. Cycle with a mate who has the Foil with all the bells and whistles and he is like a pig in poo. He moved to that from a top of the range Bianchi. Edited August 23, 2012 by Tubehunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cippo Posted August 23, 2012 Share I am looking at getting a Scott Foil but know little about the brand other than Mark Cavendish made it look like a FAST bike. Any thought and experience with Scott Bikes in general or the Foil specifically. Thanks What kind of riding are you planning on doing with the Foil. Its a real hardcore racing rig. If you not into the racing it might be a tad too uncomfortable over long distances. The CR1 is more for a century rider with still enough responsiveness. Not sure if Addicts are available. I think Spinnekop on the hub here has a Foil. Pm him for reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
