Hi Brandon, I’m certain when I was looking at reviews on the S10 there was an issue with some of the 2006/7 s10 & s20 models breaking at the headtube/downtube and/or the seattube/toptube joints but this problem was rectified with models 2008 onwards.

Don’t quote me but if I remember rightly I think they overbuilt on last years quota to cover the warranty replacements from the previous year so it sounds like you could be getting a 2008/09 model sprayed up in previous years colours.

Nice work on the C1 though

I’m also a tall person at 6ft and 87kg’s. I bought a s20 last year. It only lasted one year. The frame cracked a few months ago. Cracked right wear the fork enters the frame and up wards. Nice for me. But no worries. Scott does not make my frame any more so I’m sitting on a loaner C1. Now that is service. It has not been easy to find me a frame I can tell you that. They have looked every where. Scott dose not make the s series any more just the normal so called speedster. They phoned me today to say they found me two but have to import them so I can chose the one I like. I can chose between the s20 limited (I think it looks like the 06 or the 07 model not a limited) or the new speedster I think. Hard one. Not sure. Will have to weight and see. Hold thumbs.

Hi Dominic, I’d have to say the Scott is still holding up well after quite a few thousand miles now. Still feels pretty lively.

Great review.
Personally I am biased being a Scott Bike rider for many years.I am also nearly 15st but smaller at 6ft, but never had any problems with breakage on any of my Scott bikes.

Good luck
