Heah guys...One thing I did not mention...On the head tube...There are beginning signs of rust on the exterior...Can only be worse on the inside...? guess this could be remedied...Called Scott( now again marketing a variety of bikes in the US.) but no upgrade policy on frames...
My question, I get a frame with braze ons...Will the price be that much different from a new Surly bike? mechanic says like $650. change out components on existing Scott about $350..
The customer service guy at Scott in Idaho agreed Deore on the back and Ultegra on the front is pretty messed up.
a thought , maybe the minimum I need do, in spite of the rust on the head tube..Just change out the Deore on the back.?might improve the ride enough to get up to 100,000 miles on the Scott frame and a couple more trans-Atlantic crossings.
