I unfortunately sold my Tigre earlier this year - mistake on my part, but I wasn't really using her as much as I would have liked. I actually ended up buying that Scout that was up recently - would prefer a Tigre however haha, so if you want to trade, let me know

The Tigre wasn't a particularly light bike. My trail setup (Fox factory 34 at 2kg, rapide wheelset at 1800g, 400g csixx double foamo insert, 2,4 ardent tyres, dropper, deore groupset etc) ended up around 14.5kg. Not the lightest, but didn't notice it on any sort of MTB races - even did a few of the smaller Munga events on her and she was great. I definitely noticed it on the road, but I think that's more the tyres than the bike.

Are you willing to sell your scout? If so, what size is it?

Hello guys, I thought I should share my pleasant experience with Wayne. I contacted Wayne via whatsapp on 23 Decemeber and sent him some pics of what I thought was a crack in my XL frame. He confirmed that it was a crack and sent me a new frame under warranty, no questions asked. I recieved the new frame on 27 December. 

It does not happen often that a company stands by their product like Wayne and Rapide does. I urge anyone to do business with him.

Thanks for the excellent service @Kiwi
