Skott bicyces
 
I was @ Piermont looking at the Scott bicycles yesterday. I just got a 2013 Foil Premium Plus, best road bike I've ridden, and in a recent Velo News comparison with other high line aero road bikes (Venge, S5, Foil, Litespeed) they clearly chose the Foil as their favorite. Impressive line of bicycles from Scott, from high end road to further down the line, to their MTBs which really look great. All very light compared to the competition, competitively priced. I think their bikes fly under the radar a bit compared to higher profile brands like Specialized, Cannondale, Cervelo, if you're in the market for a bicycle you might want to look at their offerings.

I've been looking at the Foil 15 myself. Did you compare to the SS Evo DI2 ? They have both at my LBS and its a tough choice. I hope to ride both soon.

My wife lusts after a Scott Foil, to the point of knowing which protour team is on them :) We shall see :)

Would it really kill one of the mods to fix the typo on my title? WTF are we paying you idiots for anyway?

^ The CR1 is one of the oldest carbon fiber frame molds still in production. It's gotta be great!

I think there's a few great road-making brands that fly under the radar: Fuji, Scott, Marin, Kestrel, Kona, Jamis. They just don't pay magazines for reviews as often.

Of these brands, he only one with a pro peloton presence in Europe is Scott, I do think Scott designs are a cut above those other brands. Just my perception.

It may not kill me but I can't risk it.

Don't do it, every time he comments about our typos we can bring this up. It will kill him.

Skotts may be nice bikes, but they are no Cervelos. Just sayin

When it comes to racing, it's not the bike, it's the engine. Thus teams modify the engine (blood-doping).

Fuji has won with Juan Jose Cobo, and the rest don't bother wasting tons of money on an international team. This is one factor with them not being in the mainstream like Trek, Specialized, Cervelo, ect.

I agree, just got my son a nice Scott mountain bike and it seems very well made.
