At the moment, the only thing that is same as to what I had bought, is the frame, handlebar/stem, brakes and wheels. Wheels are about to be changed out. While they are great for gravel riding, trail riding, I am going to eventually ruin these wheels with the trails I've been riding on.
Only real issue I did have on it, was the original bottom bracket was bad and needed to be replaced after only 20 miles of riding on the C&O canal.
She looks really good!
I searched a bit further and came to the conclusion of buying the Scott. I'm not really experienced with everything so I still need to learn. Could you explain a bit with which bracket have you replaced it or where I could look myself on some good and compatible ones? And also, the wheels, something I again, am new in and I have to do some searching. Just in case something is wrong so I can know for myself.
