Scott CR1: Smart Light or Stupid Light
Booker C. Bense
. stanford.edu wrote in : Ksyrium wheels. This combo is clearly marketed to appeal to middle-aged Freds with disposable incomes, not racing teams. And so if Scott markets to recreational masters riders, I would expect enough frame durability to handle the stresses of recreational riding and the extra 10, 15, 20 pounds of Master Fattie paunch that goes with it. _ Why? The frame only has a one year limited warranty. How does putting less expensive components on the bike make the frame more durable? You might expect those things, but I don't see how they can be compatible with one of the lightest frames available. _ Booker C. Bense I think you missed my point there, Booker. I asked if people thought the CR1 was 'strong and light' or 'light, but not durable.' Some posters shared anecdotes that suggested the CR1 was light but not durable. Then I said that if Scott markets a pure racing bike, it's OK if the frame is fragile, racing customers expect that trade-off in a frame. However, if the CR1 is indeed a fragile frame, I believe Scott should not hang cheaper components on it and market it as a club ride and century bike. Freds like me expect durability. |
