that's a good looking scott - what model? don't see it in the current lineup. geo / travel? looks seriously raked. i like it (a fan of straight tubes).

edit - evidently this is a 2010 fr model.
It is a new bike that will be for 2010 and it is a bike park/freeride/slopestyle kind of bike with a bit of adjustment in the rear to accommodate for different a2c heights. So, this one is set up with 170mm of rear travel, a 330mm bb height and a 63.5° head angle and 440mm chainstays. It is a 3.4 kilo frame and I am loving it.

Here is a shot of the bike in slopestyle mode. with 130mm of travel and 415mm chainstays.

I've posted this thing in different incarnations (as low as 36 lbs). This one is with real rubber (full on DH casings and tubes) and can be ridden hard no matter the course. Past postings were for pretty tame courses.

The new wheels with No Tubes Flow rims and KT hubs helped keep things light and survived a couple days thrashing at Deer Valley without coming our of true. Ti spring on the Vivid, Boxxer WC, hollow Holzfellers, Formula R1 brakes are also helping keep it at 38.33 lbs.

I, um, hate you. What's with the classic LG1 and Saint brakes on an otherwise ridiculously well specced bike? Looks like no expense spared, then last years model on a couple parts.

Just wondering, I would love to ride that.

Well, The LG1 is fine,(have an Lg1 +) but to lazy to swap it, haha, and the brakes I really liek, have had them for years, so will keep them for now, only brakes I can think of would be new Saint, but other then,that, most have too many problems

Fair enough. I have the new saints and they are killer, I agree that a lot of the other brakes on the market have some chronic flaw that kept me from buying them.

You need the gold ano bits on the chainguide to match your shock and fork though.... :D
