Undefined Scott

[tommybike]

Hey!
Does anyone have a clue as to what Scott this is? What I don't understand is that the components don't look bad but the frame features look to me like those of a cheap one and maybe not even of a Scott (top of seat tube, rear dropout, strange cable housing, thickness of tubes, decals..) Thanks!

You suspect right. Does not look like a Scott frame.

Any sign of a frame number?

Could be 1990's Montana, with upgraded components.
- lugged seat tube top
- same kind of rear droput. Just the two eyelets do not match.

My guess is Sintesi, based on saddle, stem, and seatpost, maybe worth a catalog check.

Never heard of steel Sintesi bikes.

Never heard of steel Sintesi bikes.

Me neither... most likely these parts migrated on this frame.

to me the frame seems to be of lower quality as most of the used parts...
The Wheelset with tires (if still OK), VLS spring fork https://retroforksbike.pl/en/amortyzatory/spring-vls-2/ and the Specialized Flag (ST4) Cranks are all quite nice.
