Bike for best: Scott Foil RC 2017 (left) & Race bike: Scott Foil Premium 2016 with Dura Ace 7900 & Rotor 3D Power2Max (right).

Both ride dreamily but the new DA is a different league.

nice! i am looking at the 17 Foil, either the very frame you have here or building up a Foil Premium Frameset. trying to figure out IF my P2Max with Rotor 3D (not the plus or 30) will work with the 17 Foil frame. Wondering about clearance issues? I see you have yours on the 16. Any issues with running it on the 17?

I believe that the frames (except colour) are identical so shouldn't have any issues. Just get standard shimano bb (24mm)

2011 Lynskey R230
 
I've added as many titanium pieces as practical - cages, stem, seat post, head set. I think it's beautiful and it rides like a dream. I'm done... for now.

It can't be serious. Its a gag, right?

Seems too nicely made to be a gag though. :foo:

Silver 9 or 10 Campagnolo, and skinwall Continental tire would look a little better, but it's Hot "as is".

Replace black tape & saddle to white, match decals.. it would look better.

I don't know who the rider is but he must be a real wimp ... look, he has spacers under his stem.

if he was a pro he'd have it slammed, right?

No problem with the spacers, but the bulky stem.

My thoughts on this is to remove the decals, even the wheel decals. Tires, crank, brakes, handlebars and fork are, of course, going to remain black.

That was supposed to be a poke at all the people (no one who posts Here I am sure) who thinks all the pros ride slammed stems.

He's a big guy, maybe he likes a strong stem. Whatever. Exactly that, in fact ... if one can ride like he rode, one has certainly earned the right to ride whatever.

As for the general esthetics .... a pro bike is going to be compromised to please the sponsors. I think that is why we see so many commercial bikes slathered in manufacturer decals---they want to make sure that the pros' bikes clearly show the make from any possible angle. Then they sell bikes that look like the pros'.

Surprised he hasn't caught flack for gumwalls. :)

On the Lynskey? I'd leave it like it is.

if it were mine, and I had the option, I would run it with no decals .... and black saddle and tape. But if the decals were under clearcoat I wouldn't mess with them. They aren't too gaudy Well, no fan of the wheel decals ....)
