daveno7 Posted May 22, 2020 Share So I pulled the trigger earlier this year sold my long loved custom Scale and got a new Spark 940. Long story short Spark gone and started a Scale "new" build. Little hard to get what I want in lockdown but have a couple of upgrade parts on hand.Plan: Fattest rubber that fit the frame✔️, dropper, 120mm up front, 50mm stem 760-800mm bar and short carbon cranks✔️.I have the rubber and crank but need a chainring and 31.6mm 120-150mm dropper. really like riding my Scale again...good fun hardtail....i like that custom spec Me rida my bicycle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyronLab Posted May 22, 2020 Share I assumed the Fe was referencing the symbol for iron due to their bikes being steel framed. T-Bob and Hairy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bob Posted May 23, 2020 Share I wonder how they decided on BFE?I know the BFF and BBF acronyms. This one was new to me. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=BFE It's pronounced Beefy and apparently B is for burly and the Fe is the symbol for iron... Could be a myth tho. Edit: Sorry, missed the comments and came to the party late with that one. Anyway, because I can't find a decent Kingdom Vendetta I'm going back to the Steel option HT. I'm very keen on this Cotic (£549) with the other option being a Ribble HT £499. Hummm.... they have the blue cotic in stock as a medium!

I've had 2 Cotics and I can only say good things about them... the only bad thing is the idiot that bought them a size too small. T-Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddy Posted May 23, 2020 Share I "won" a Hub charity auction to buy a Simple at way over the asking price a few years ago. Over the last 18 months I have ridden it more times than everything else put together and I love it. The only thing I regret is that I got rid of the P29 I was running SS at the time. It would be nice to have the choice of a geared HT sometimes.. Jewbacca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
