Scott makes a nice bike. Is it carbon? Another thing I forgot to add is that you want to check the warranty. Some companies only warranty carbon for three years.
Giant is lifetime on the frame, and I have replaced a couple of older frames for folks.
I'm not positive but I believe trek is the same way.
Scott is a smaller company so may not be able to do that. I'm not sure though?? So I would check.
They are a VERY nice bike tho! One of my friends rides a plasma and I love when he brings it in for service.
Which shop has the Scott?
