Anyway, It's a Scott AFD Elite 2003, and it was £650. Someone please tell me this is a good deal...?

Coulda got a 2004 for £699

Oops forgot to check for a reply on this post. The only difference between the two is the brakes, I think - and I don't know which are meant to be better. Not sure but the frame is probably the same. Anyway not bothered about it now, I'm more than happy! And the black and yellow looks much sleeker than the blue.

Congratulations!! Never understood why Scott withdrew from the U.S. market. We can use all the choices we can get!!

Did they?? Seems pretty stupid, after all they are called Scott USA!

One disappointment about this bike is the tyres. It comes with Kenda Koncept K-191's of which my rear one was cut by gravel after less than two hundred miles. It's a shame cos the yellow goes really nicely with the paint job 😄
