During our Summer break to Scotland Jane was complaining about her hybrid commuter bike tyres and the bumpy stones on the trails. To be honest the trails were alot rougher in places than normal and will have been hard work on her commuter so come up with a plan to build her own mtb. The Scott Scale frame was Angus's old one, my old forks from my Kona Ti Hei Hei and groupset from the Cannondale Carbon Rush (full sus) which i have not used in over a year. A few parts from the my stock pile and the bike was nearly complete. I was missing an e type front mech, 34.9mm seatpost & 160mm splined rotor. In a couple of days the parts had landed and we finished off the bike and its ready to rock & roll. Not a bad weight either, rear wheel sounds a little rough and needs some bearings renewed apart from that it rides well.

| Nearly finished just waiting for the a few parts |
 |
| Sell off f mech, just over £6 brand new inc next day delivery! |
 |
| Had a few spare 31.6mm seatpost so decided to go with the shim option |
 |
| USE are very good quality and this one is the alu version not the plastic model |
 |
| Last but no least i was 1no 160mm splined rotor short |
 |
| and its finished, apart from a few tweaks & fine tuning |
