I thought it was about time I showed you my projects. I'm a big fan of Scott bikes and have been riding them for the last 15 years. Started with a small (14'), Orange and black Scott Peak Adventure (with U-Brake).
There doesn't seem to be that many Scott owners on here which I'm surprised at.
Below are 3 Scotts I own:
Scott 92 (I think) Pro Evolution I rescued. Previous owner thought it a good idea to remove all the paint, I guess any restoration is now out of the question so your thoughts on a colour would be appreciated (thinking all black or all white with some blinging components!?) I do like this frame!!
Scott 91 (I think) Sport Windriver which I have had from new. This bike has done everything and only this year I retired it from active duty hoping to restore it back to original (I have a very sweet complete DX groupset to go back on). Only problem is a binned the forks!
Scott Scale 04. Not a retro bike but a retro replacement for the Windriver.
Finding material i.e. brochures for Scott bikes is difficult. I have some but not the correct years. Who would you guys recommend to restore the paint for Windriver, I know of Argos but how good/close to the original can the repaint and decals be?
I do have a reference pic of a 92 Evo but again I'm worried I wouldn't be happy with the restored paint unless it was really good.
Well I would appreciate your thoughts.
Cheers. R
