Not sure about that bike but family member works in LBS and trek have told them there won't be any new bikes available until Feb 22. It's pretty much the same with orange etc too. I ended up going 2nd hand but struggled to find anything that wasn't overblown in price

I've got a jack flash 29er which hasn't let me down so far, so I'd recommend a scandal if you can afford that price point. Looks like the main upgrades from mine are the frame geo and the forks

My absolute smugness for picking up a Scandal for £150 in their pre launch sale. Forks planet X also for £134! Built this for around the £500 mark by filtering CRC website by largest discount late at night... a shared child carrying ‘dad bike’ so not high spec.
Those were the days. Low prices and high availability!
Great bike. Super short stays. Easiest thing ever to pop the front up/wheelie*. Would recommend.

Is a scandal still a decent bike at £1300 or are Planet X having my pants down? Struggling to find a bike for summer at a fair price that’s in stock and not totally rubbish. Ultimately I want a Scott spark so can’t decide if I should just wait for those and ride my gravel bike or old 26inch orange in meantime, or get a stop gap hardtail that I can keep for winter/ kid riding
