.....you started the thread "Stylomilo".
.....but it still has to work!
i personally didn't owe any Scott frame, but rode several (6-8 ) from my buddies.
1. i'm negative about geometry, (esp short tt).
2. may be it's my personal impression, but many Scott frames have too bulky chain/seatstays, which results in rather harsh ride.
3. overall quality is no good. i personally witnessed several frames crack (1 on downtube, 1 on bb, and one on DT-HT weld), and NON was replaced under warranty.
4. price!
5. stock stuff on midrange priced bikes. esp. the forks.
6. not enough yet?...
i don't like the brank name coz it sounds no good in Russian.

I really don't understand what you mean with weird geo. I just checked their website and all of their geo's are around 71 / 73. Wich is realy usual!
