Scott Foil Team Issue - Custom Build

[nigelpugh7]

Hi Guys,

My new toy, ( well some of it!!) turned up today.



Never built my own road bike before, so it seemed like a good project.

Its a thing of beauty indeed, very nice attention to detail on lots of the frame.

Also the Di2 looks the business, the shifters are a work of art on their own!!

Keep a look out for more pics as i start the build!

Nice Shiny Mavic Carbon SLS Wheelset Turned up today too!!!



Just need to pull the trigger on some other stuff now too!!

[nigelpugh7]

Just done a quick trial fit, they look good with my foil frame too!!

Awesome!

The Foil is definetly one of my dream bikes.

Or crankset, or chain, or brakes, or stem, or handlebar?..........

Very nice and Di2 as well,,just like mine when finished ? ( I hope !)

Did you build it your self, or was it a complete bike you purchased?

Only ask, as there are some things I would like to check re my build?

[Benmac]

Pretty fond of mine too.

Looks excellent! , very stealth too!

I am very pleased with the quality and finish of the paint and graphics on my team issue version,,i think it looks the business!

With so many foil owners we might have to form a Scott Foil owners PH group, and organise Sunday service rides out!

I bought it complete - but i've had it a couple of years now, and have replaced, changed a few bits so know it pretty well - so any questions ask away.........

It looks like deep wheel are a popular upgrade, Ive had mine for almost six months and really loving it.

[nigelpugh7]

Thanks for all the replies guys!!

So the Scott Foil seems a popular bike choice, thats good to hear.

Hope to get some more bits ordered soon!!

[RJJ]

Am in the foil club also lovely bit of kit.

Next upgrade I have is better wheels like you and others here, popping into cadence sport so will purchase something nice for it then.

Excellent!

And a match here too, my other bike is also a Speczialed , a camber comp, so it looks like my foil will be will be in good company!

Sorry Guys for the radio silence, been busy this week with the new pup Wilbur.

Managed to get it almost finished today, just need to do some small fettling and it will be ready to ride.

I am very happy with the way it went together, and how the end result looks too!!

Have you finished this yet? How does it ride?

I've been offered a Foil 40 with 105 - I've been considering the BMC TMR02 (see lengthy thread on here) but this might do the trick instead. What's it like?

Hi There,

Thanks for the reminder, yes finished toe weeks ago, only had time for a few rides dos farm,but it feels fantastic.

Lots of people said it was a stiff frame, but it rides just fine for me!

Will try to post some more pictures soon.
