rock Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 found this on Tinker's blog.... "Riding my Scalpel brings back the good feelings, especially now since it's a carbon frame. (Doesn't it seem like every bike is carbon these days??) I love my Six 13 Scalpel so much but I forgot how to set it up for XC." we've all seen that propto's that sauser rode years ago, but has anyone seen this incarnation ?
TitusTi Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Only a few were made, all in the same size apparently. I think because it costs a fortune to make different sizes. I know the riders all say the bike is awesome! And it looks good.
rock Posted November 9, 2006 Author Posted November 9, 2006 slightly off topic - but all of a sudden I feel like some reynolds 853......
TitusTi Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 853 is cool but there are now so many cool steels out there! I want some I want all! Go check out the Sycip's with the custom brazing, they are so pretty to look at!In fact, just read today that the Columbus boys have made a new steel that is aparently the absolute bees knees! It's called XCr.

TitusTi Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 A custom hardtail! What? Waste all the customising on a hardtail, ridiculous! (I woudn't mind a custom steal hardtail either(29er of course))
buckshot Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 isn't it funny how the steel bikes are the one's that are the most memorable?the bike i remember most fondly was a Tange Prestige GT Richter 8.0. What a sweet ride...
GoLefty!! Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 Want Steel, go visit the Scapin or Independant Fabrications websites. drool and start saving.
TitusTi Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 I've ridden a Scapin road bike, it belonged to Ivan Gotti at the time, it is absolutley sublime to ride!Also at Worlds I was crusing with the English IF team, rode Ian's bike, he rode mine we decided that we both still like our own bikes.
buckshot Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 did anyone here ever own a Bridgestone MB Zip? I didn't get to ride one much but i think they were quite good, if a little 'noodly'... (technical term)
GoLefty!! Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 A german buddy of mine, owns an MB0 (zipp), still in original spec with a marzocchi suspension fork on its.I think he still has the purple, green and yellow Gaerne MTB shoes too........and purple lycra shorts.... A very prominent F1 engineer wanted to buy it off hime for GBP1000!
