Transition Scout - what's the fuss about?

Carbon is bad mmmkay. Nothing wrong with metal. Not worth the extra at all imo, theres more to good bike design than "ooooooh it comes in plastic".

Some bikes seem to have "it". The scouts one of them

I saw that from Pole too. I'd dread to think what happens with the production from cradle to grave on any bike part. The thing that's appealing to me about an aluminium bike at the moment is not just the reduced cost, but I really love that brushed aluminium finish like on the Banshee Spitfire and Canfield Riot. I might even give the obligatory frameskin a miss too! It's a pity their warranties are so pitiful though.
