NotSoBigBen Posted May 30, 2008 Share That looks to nice to be a project bike !!!!   - not too shabby Nige! May end up my official training bike ........ if the LX dual control/LX rapid rise/XTR caliper combo work out good that will go to the S-works hardtail and the old XT trigger/XT RD and Magura Julies can go on the project/training bike  That was the whole idea of doing it in the first place, to try these out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hog_ Posted June 1, 2008 Share  Nice BB! I've always had a thing for Scott frames, I don't know why.  I don't suppose you'd be kind enough to give us a rough breakdown of the costs? Or the total cost? I've been thinking of doing a project bike, but the money involved is putting me off at this stage. edit: Nevermind - I see there is costs for everything except the frame.      Hog_2008-06-01 02:41:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
