guys just ride. the bike really does not matter. with so manny bikes out their we all think that the bike we like and ride is the only one out their or the best ever built. dont worry about what bike some one else is spending their money on. i have been riding for 26 years and evey bike i have riden has felt good to me no matter the brand.

Yeah a carbon hardtail that will sell for over $7000. No thanks. More interested in the carbon C’Dale than either the future carbon Scott, Giant or current Gary Fisher. Might be interested in the Specialized but I would rather support C’dale innovation than any of the others if I go big brand. That being said I may go custom Ti with a BB 30 and if possible a tapered headtube. If someone can build me one like that with the same geometry as my Niner then I am sold. Will last me longer than any plastic bike will. Carbon for the road unless you are a pro and get new bikes every year.

Yeah – meh. This thing will not be cheap or better than Fisher, or even Specialized, ho have worked the 29er opportunity a lot more. This is catch up, and not at all inspired.

Any FS in the works? A coil long travel if you will or will they stick to HT like Marin being afraid of trying something new?

Scott is a euro company, Continental 29er acceptance with consumers is a bit behind that of the US I think. Anyway this frame will supposedly be a Scale 50 aluminum, no doubt with middle-of-the-road geometry, just to get something on the floor of dealers. Meh.

Of course it is a stop gap……….until their carbon and FS bikes are ready for production. Look at how many other companies had “stop gap” models. Redline originally only had one 29er model……….now, it’s all they do for MTBs! There will be carbon and FS from Scott in the near future.

More options is always good, but this sure seems like a stop-gap measure to appease their dealers who want to be able to offer what customers are asking about. Come on Scott, lets see some real effort.
