Scandal Model Info
Overview
The Scandal is our new superlight XC frame, designed for covering the ground at high speed, either for fun or in one of those Marathon sort of races that people like doing.
7043 alloyΒ custom butted tubes keep everything light, but amazingly compliant. Headtube and BB shell are internally machined to save weight. The dropouts are fixed, welded, cold forged, lovely, non singlespeed dropouts - plus a NEW sliding dropout version now available so you can run gears or single speed. This is the least-aluminium-like aluminium frame you’ll ride! This 29in x 18in sample weighs around 3.5lb.
Geometry is bang on the same as our current Sliding Dropout Inbred and 29er
frames, as we’re doing this model with BOTH wheelsizes!
Tyre clearance is whopping. I’ve drawn it for clearance with 2.5in Conti Diesels at the back. And the carbon fork will take a 3in Gazzaloddi.
