My New MTB: ‘07 Scott Scale 50
July 26th, 2007

This bike seems very lightweight - especially compared to my old Toyota MTB (yes! Toyoya … you know, safety first).
This is beautiful craftsmanship, its easy to ride, got hydraulic disk brakes , and a lot of other stuff I don’t really know much about.
Time will tell if this is one the things I get fanatical obsessed about or if I loose complete interest within a week … basically the two only emotional reactions I have - and that goes for anything.
