I'm new to mountain biking, not new to biking. I'm a road biker at heart! Got this new 2014 Scott Scale 770 to change things up. It has 27.5" wheels with a 10 speed Shimano Deore drive train. Well, 30 given the triple. I really like it, just wasn't crazy that it was advertised as having a remote suspension lockout and it didn't come with one. Oh well, not necessarily a deal breaker since the stock forks at this price point are usually mediocre at best. Otherwise, I'm happy with the bike! Safe riding everyone!
