It's a Centaur group? Not a bad price, but I would upgrade to a matching Centaur carbon crank just for bling.

among a sea of exotic carbon, the scott looks too generic for me.

It's a black bike that says 'Scott' on it. If your name is Scott, you're set.

There was a guy on Runner's World shoe forums, 5 years ago, went by the name "Baby Jingles," who was always obsessing about some new running shoes. Kind of the way that you do with bikes, Sin. Except you're a fair bit more knowledgable about bikes than he was about running shoes.

I love bargains, particulary a chance to get a modern weight weenie bike for wholesale -about $2500 if I force the issue. The 06's are about $4000.00
I'll do the taste test on the Scott after my 40 mile group ride tomorrow morning. If the CR1 accelerates like bat out of hell at 4 lbs lighter than my Lemond and the BB isn't flexing all over the place (I'm 195 lbs), I will be very tempted to lay the cash out on that baby!

Wow, it really distinguishes itself from all the other carbon fiber bikes out there. How unique!

This is so different from the Waterford. What gives, have gone over to the dark side of Plastic? I think I'm going to be sick.

I have a thing for black bikes, so that bike won me over. I have to agree with Patriot, though. You need a black crank on there.
