Scott Speedster S50

Price Paid:  $900.00 at LBS

Model Year:
2007

Summary:
I bought a 2009 but couldn't select it in the drop down.

I just started riding so can't tell you to much about it.

Strengths:
Way better than the old steel bike that I was riding.

Weaknesses:
I put 400 miles on the bike and the head tube cracked on both sides. After googling it, scott knows about the problem. They are replacing it with the S10 frame (All White) which looks like the same frame.

Bike Setup:
All stock - check Scott's Speedster S50 site and that's exactly what I have.

Summary:
The first time I tested this bike at my LBS, I could feel the difference that it had over the other, even more expensive, bikes. I was a mountain bike rider who didn't know much about riding, but my cousin got me into road cycling and I got addicted quickly. I tested a Raleigh Grand Sport, Trek 1.5, Fuji Roubaix, GT GTR 3-Series, and others in the sub 1k price range. The Scott Speedster just felt right. It responded extremely well and I felt that I could control it with ease.

Strengths:
Extremely good frame, in fact, an outstanding frame. I paid $620 for the entire bike and the frame will come with me when I upgrade my components. Excellent frame. Very light. It's a good thing the frame is light because the stock components (mostly Sora) are clunky and heavy.

Weaknesses:
Obviously the components are the weak point on this bike. I'm still trying to adjust everything on there so things shift smoothly. Heavy components.

Summary:
I Bought the 09', I'm just starting to ride and having not tried the high end components (which i'm doing on purpose)I might switch to the 9 speed 105 set if I can find them on ebay. Because the shifters skip and that might be on the LBS to adjust them again but this is just a first impression review. Everything else seems smooth so far. Even though it has low end components.

Summary:
This is my first road bike and I really enjoy it. Great entry bike.

Strengths:
Good feel to it

Weaknesses:
You are on a entry level bike. The components and such are on the cheaper end. But the best I have had so far!
