The Saint Posted September 9, 2010 Share Also a huge scale down in models available for 2011 - as well as no TT bike or Tandem - maybe the recession did really hit hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starvin' Marvin Posted September 9, 2010 Share eugene 100% correct. It's just components across the 7000,8000 and LTD that differed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starvin' Marvin Posted September 9, 2010 Share I reckon I must try and find a buyer for my Team bike. But hard to find a buyer for a 56cm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentBikes Posted September 9, 2010 Share I reckon I must try and find a buyer for my Team bike. But hard to find a buyer for a 56cm My RC6000 57cm is also up for sale so yes not many people that size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugene Posted September 9, 2010 Share Yeah not impressed with the 2011 range. But apparently they will be bringing out higher end bikes when the sign up with a pro team again. Losing MTN hurt them abit. They never lost MTN. Raleigh chose to withdraw their sponsorship. It is an indication that they are moving away from decent quality race machines and moving to the the entry level type of bikes. I'm sure that Probike is aiming Scott at the upper end of the buyers and Raleigh at the lower end.

Starvin' Marvin Posted September 9, 2010 Share Well if thats the case willbe looking at a new brand and not scott. Cervelo or specialized will be high on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capeofstorms Posted September 9, 2010 Share @Ferrous Oxide What is your comments on those dura ace wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentBikes Posted September 10, 2010 Share @Ferrous Oxide What is your comments on those dura ace wheels? Bought them from Shimano as a demo set and I can only talk of the utmost praise. I have done about 5000+ k's on them and not trued them once. The Durace Ace bearings run supersmooth and I think I reset them once. They feel stiffer than Ksyrium SL's but that is purely a subjective road feel and there is a defenite difference in accaleration they spin up quicker than my mavics. Most of the weight is in the hub itself so your inertia on the wheel is less and you can "feel" the difference. Note they are the WH7850 C24 CL and not the scandium ones. Quality of the rim and carbon is also great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted September 10, 2010 Share I'm sure that Probike is aiming Scott at the upper end of the buyers and Raleigh at the lower end. So they've got bikes up to R10k in the Raleigh range and starting at R30k in the Scott range. What about the gap inbetween? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
