It took me a while to get around to taking some pics… motivation has been low to write and photograph these last couple of weeks, something to do with settling back into normal life at home I guess. Anyway for those folk who might be interested I finally photographed my refurbished Scenario Pro… It cost me £416 in total, that includes shipping to/from Germany; strip, inspection and refinish of the frame; return of the fork to THM Carbones for inspection; new graphics; M5 CNC cable adjusters & new headset bearings. Before sending it off it seemed quite a lot to spend on a 7 year old frame but having seen the results it was more than worth it, and of course the ride is as thrilling as ever. 7 years ago the Scenario Pro was one of the finest frames money could buy.. now it’s one of the finest frames money can’t buy :-) It’s still my favourite ride ever amongst a raft of other carbon and titanium machines owned over the years – beautifully balanced on the road with a perfect blend of stiffness, comfort and responsiveness. Very much a modern classic IMO and good for at least another 7 years, probably more…
Weight as pictured is bang on 16lbs without any special tuning parts (unless you count the Tune QRs as ‘special’). Just a regular Campagnolo Record group (10s), Neutron Ultra wheels, Thomson stem, Syntace bars, Specialized saddle and New Ultimate seatpost. So 3lbs heavier than my CD1.0 was… but I’ll not miss it.
What a great high gloss finish to that frame. Grey shouldn’t sound too inspiring, but that’s great.
it was meant to be ‘chrome black’… it’s nothing like black but rather pleased with it nevertheless :-)
I suspect that it’s a little more sprightly up the hills the the fully loaded Thorn.
hehe, indeed… gets me to the cake stop very quickly….
