let me make the decision for you ---- Ha ha.......
First Caldera ($625 as per your estimate)
Second Scott Scale ($515 with discount coupon)
Third Cinder Cone...... (I dont know)
So, if money was a concern, I would save $110 and get the Scale 60 (also you dont need to pay tax on that. I dont know how much tax you have topay for Caldera). if you can stretch and swing that $110+ tax, definitely get the caldera..... I dont thing you can get terribly wrong with either......
hope this helps......

Does the Marzocchi MZ-2 100mm fork without lockout bother you at all on the Caldera?

Hi,
I picked up a Scott Scale 60 for my son -- 15" frame. He is 12yo, 5' tall, and weighs 80lbs. What specific items would you upgrade during the initial assembly? brakes ? fork?
TIA
malage

great buy for your son. thats a very decent bike with a good frame and a great set of components.
its my personal opinion....I would not change anything now. I would put it together and let him ride it for a while. Then you guys will have a better idea about what you like and what you dont. and upgrade the components as they break or get old. That fork is a nice one, I would not change that. same goes with the break. but, some where down the line he may want some disc brakes......let him save up for a good set of Avid mechanical (BB7) disc brakes......or you could surprise him with a good set of hydrolic brakes next cristmas or his birthday......
just me.....
