Please excuse my ignorance but can I ask what is the small round bit just above the BB shell?

Love the internal cable routing - put this frame high on my wishlist.Here's mine
In a word, YESLove the internal cable routing - put this frame high on my wishlist.
Is it fiddly to manage?
Thanks for the heads up. I'm pretty OCD about cable performance, so you may have just saved me from an expensive source of frustration. Cheers.In a word, YES
And the quality of the shift deteriorates quickly. I ended up, and have done on 3 frames now, routed them right through
Not serious...?$3400 for the Scott frame, wow, it will want to be v/good and v/light for that. It looks v/cool
Far canal. That is some serious doubloonage for a bicycle frame.$3400 for the Scott frame, wow, it will want to be v/good and v/light for that. It looks v/cool

Sounds about right they are list on the Avanti site for $4k http://www.avantiplus.com.au/products/sc250a123/title/scott-scale-29-frameThat's what a friend of mine saw in a shop today, I could be stood corrected?
About a grand more than a Niner, but it is a fair bit lighter.
The Niner is more versatile though, being able to run SS and the matching rigid fork option
It must be the Aussie dollar.Sounds about right they are list on the Avanti site for $4k http://www.avantiplus.com.au/products/sc250a123/title/scott-scale-29-frame
I was interested until I saw the price here, frame is listed at $1900 on most US bike sites.
And the manufacturers too?It must be the Aussie dollar.
Very greedy local distributors IMHO. Factory operations like Giant or Specialized are not as bad (these days). The brands that are imported by 3rd party distributors, well, don't get me started.
Isn't that just unreal?And the manufacturers too?
From http://www.bikesale.com/scott-scale-29-rc-mountain-frameset-2011.aspx at US$1800 (currently A$1670) :
* Scott bikes are for in store purchase only. We cannot ship Scott bikes due to our dealer agreement. No exceptions.
exactly, I got stung by a bike shop once on a boutique frame never again (my fault, should have done my research!) ........... and if they have that stupid US buyers only notice I just go to another site or have it shipped to my buddy in CA.You could fly to the US, buy the frame, fly it back and pay your tax on it for less than you could buy it locally.......ridiculous!
