Sooo beautiful... but

[MichH]

So, we are in the final stages of building the Scott. We started bleeding the brakes last night, but we haven't got all the bubbles out yet, so we'll finish in the next two days or so (busy busy weekend )

 

So now we need to neaten up all the cable ends, finish the routing, and set up the seat height, and the rebound on the shocks. She's beautiful... but I'm worried about the short distance between the handlebars and seat. Am I being paranoid?

Genius is in the detail.

why's it so small? How tall are you? What size is the frame, why is the stem so long??? I've never seen one as long as that..

 

Nice Bike!!

[MichH]

Thanks guys,

 

Marius, I bought the Scott frame second hand and it came in small. That's why I'm a 'little' worried about the size, but the geometry when we measured it out works out almost identical to my hardtail, so I'm hoping she handles OK. We've built it up little by little as the funds came through (!). I bought the frame in July and it has been an exercise in patience to wait to finish it!

 

I'll have to ride her to see how she handles, but I fit the upper limit for the frame, and I keep on hearing that you can afford to go a bit smaller on a full suss to give you extra maneuverability (OK, so I'm hoping it all works out)

 

I'll have to let you all know once I've ridden it...

That stem looks a litte too long. Actually quite alot.

[Cois]

That the frame you beat me to?

 

You have done it justice.  Great job!

 

Best of luck and happy miles!

Very nice love the colour

[MichH]

Thanks guys, Daemon, we got a looong stem to counter the fact that the frame is a bit small. I'll need to try it out and see what the handling is like, see whether it's right or not.

 

Can't wait to get onto it so I can let you all know what it's like!

OK, so if it is too small for you can a shorty like me buy it??
