I was just about to post a pic of that bike  haha I like little too much white on the frame but nice

[DownhillingKing]

what about this http://www.evanscycles.com/product_image/image/514/f80/02c/31553/product_page/scott-nitrous-10-2007-mountain-bike.jpg

Saw a single speed in white and gold when I was in London. Looks awesome. You get lots of gold pimp products from CRC so don't need to have everything individually painted

[louis0852]

That intense is one good looking bike. Lime green also works well if you want to attract some attention

[Capricorn]

yeah louis: white and gold will be really nice. There is a gold anodized compression knob on my marzo. It's a nice touch i must admit.

and yes, that intense is damn good looker *drool* I have the 951 and the Spesh demo 8 II as mental choices for a new frame, but me thinks that 951 takes the top spot for looks.. GORGEOUS!

 

 

DHK: not sure about that red on black. seems a tad generic. might be good enough if you going for the stealth look, but your fork will throw the scheme off balance a bit. Maybe consider what Louis said about pearlescent white with some gold touches. Would be unique for sure..

Ja lime Green work but you will have the bike for a week lime green then get over it but what you think of the scott

[louis0852]

I've got the gold White Brothers UD fork. When I can find another cheap morewood frame will build a white and gold combo with the fork aswell. Then upgrade my current frame to top notch specs, only in the distant future though

[Capricorn]

whwere u get white brothers products from in ZA?

[louis0852]

You don't anymore. Will have to import directly from them in the US. Damn expenxive forks though

[Capricorn]

ooi, like most good things: must be imported. No surprises there...

 

what about maintenance?

[DownhillingKing]

I like red and white or even http://www.khcycle.com.sg/images/scott07-nitrous-20.jpg or http://agodim.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/scott-nitrous-20.jpg

[louis0852]

I service mine once a year, Want to get a harder spring from somewhere or get one made. Simple to mantain, if you are planning on buying one, buy 3 sets of seals in case the company goes bust, like anything in the US

[Capricorn]

yeah. i have to learn to maintain my marzo, especially if zA doesnt get a new agent. which would suckballs!

[DownhillingKing]

So um guys what do you think of the white scott

[louis0852]

Just read the manual, usually tell you the basics you need to know. From there its just common sense

[louis0852]

Dont think the white works with such a thinish frame. Try something elso to let it stand out more, search for lumo colours
