My new XC whippet

It’s official. I rammed the final nail in my Ti project last night.

Jing came around to drop off my Scott Scale frame and fork which he sold to me last week. We took off his parts and whacked on what we could off the Ti bike.

The Scale frame uses full jacket housing all the way (nice) and I’ve decided not to use the funky lightweight alligator/nokon style cabling from the Ti, but instead settle for normal housings. I’m also going to need a seatpost + clamp as the Scale uses a strange size. Jing’s letting me borrow his one in the meantime. Apart from that I have to get the LBS to help me remove and replace crown races but after that I’ll be ready to roll.

The Fizik Alliante XM saddle I bought for the Reign will go on this bike for more comfort. And for once I didn’t weigh anything. I didn’t weigh the frame, the Truvative BB… nothing! I’m going to try my best to curb the weenie and stay functional on this build.


What no clip in pedals?! Tough titties!


Nice touch: These little dudes support full cable housing on top tube.
