from SydneyNSWAustralia Date Reviewed: September 28, 2011 Strengths: Light bike, good entry level for XC racing,all drivetrains are mid-range Shimano Deore/SLX combination. Nothing to upgrade unless you develop an "Upgrade Itch". I bought it in TheBikeBarn in Parramatta, I checked their website and I checked Scott Scale 70 and when I walked in the shop to meet Scott in person, first thing I said..." Can I see Scott Scale 70 in person please..." then the owner Rob showed him to me and was very helpful and even replaced the mountain bike wheel to 1.5 sleek tyre for free on the spot as I will be using it a lot on the road. gave me free water bottle holder, discount on SPD pedals! Very very excellent customer service. I went back after a week and he remember's my name!!! Amazing experience!!! Hat's off to Mr Rob, he also care's very well to his workers !!! a very excellent owner that know his bikes very well!!! Weaknesses: None!!! like what I said unless you have the "Upgrade Itch" I'm thinking of upgrading the drivetrains to Shimano Deore XT , why? because it looks good, that's all really and maybe lighter, but the components included with Scott Scale 70 (2011) is enough for entry level XC racing and trail. I didnt even know after I purchased the bike! I was like "hmm thats why its expensive!! " Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Oaks Fire Trail Woodford Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $1050.00 Purchased At: TheBikeBarn.com.au Similar Products Used: Avanti (1997 model) but this is a major upgrade!!! Bike Setup: all original components, I replaced the stock pedal to SPD Shimano Deore XT pedals, I installed a bar end, helps me a lot when doing technical climbing and does not cramp my arms.
