Last year after having a cast on my left foot (broken bone Weber A) for over 6 weeks, I broke my left hand after a Mountain-Bike crashed in my Kestrel bike and me.
When I was back to cycling I got from my friend the following consolation-prize:
Scott Team Issue Scandium "Jean Delatour"
The frame is posssibly the best light alloy frameset ever, at 960g in size "m" and remarkably stiff. Lightest build of around 7 kg.ipped as sown on the picture with the powermeter, it tips the scale at about UCI legal.
Brakes are the very nice mavics. Wheels are "original2 Lightweights, still made by Mr Dierl and Obermayer, the set is about 1250g.

Patrice Halgand won in the Tour de France 2002 with this "Jean Delatour" Scott. Aluminium's still the go at Le Tour, with Halgand's Scott using 7000 series aluminium and Topkey full carbon 1 1/8" non-integrated headset. Popular MTB manufacturer Ritchey have matured to roadie-status, supplying their top spec WCS bar and stem combo to the JD boys, with Shimano kitting the squad out with the Dura-Ace group and hoops. Flite saddle is once again by Selle Italia.
