2016 Scott Addict SL F&F 56cm

Scott’s Super Light (SL - see what they did there) Scott Addict frame and fork. Last of the SL frames before they were rebranded as RC Ultimate. Uses same HMX SL carbon in both frames.

This chassis has done less than 1,000km because it was replaced as a warranty repair by Scott after 2 hairline cracks were found on the underside of the chain stays. It has since been repaired by HQ Fibre Products in Norfolk, as recommended by Scott.

I was going to respray it and have it as a posh winter bike but never got round to it and now it needs to go. I still ride the replacement and it’s an awesome ride: super light, nimble and equally great for endurance or alps. I just don’t need two of them.

Complete bike retailed at £8,000+ when released and I’ve no idea where to start with this as whilst the repair is high end professional, it has still been repaired at the end of the day.

Thoughts and offers welcome. If there’s interest photos will follow (it’s boxed up at the moment). Thanks

Best to suggest a price - it's a refurbished carbon frame. Pics probably advisable as well, or you might catch some flack.

Thanks Draughts. I’ll probably just take it down to be fair. Was having an idle moment and don’t have time to post pictures for the next few days, or to field the flak 😂

I'd like to see pics, I'd love a cheap repaired hmx frame

I still maintain my old (RIP), Addict Team Issue HMX F&F was the best F&F I ever did own....

Now for sale. Finally I will let it go. Full disclosure it was on eBay a while back but took it down as I changed my mind about selling. Decided now to go to disc brakes for the second bike so will no longer be building this one up.

Thinking £950 ish. If way off I’m sure I’ll find out!

I can meet at most stations on Thameslink or can deliver in a box if preferred

Sadly i don't think the price is even remotely realistic, anymore.

@Glws, thanks for comment, and yes difficult to price in these times, assuming you mean with the inexorable rise of the disc brake.

However, there’s still a place for the grace and simplicity of the rim brake in my view.

Anyway, open to offers

PRICE DROP > £790

Way off .

It’s difficult, innit? Price drop > £650

BUMP! Price to £590 before it goes elsewhere. Apart from the obvious repair frame in VGC with very low k-age

Rim brake.
Carbon repaired.
Super hard to sell any rim brakes frames anymore. Ask me how I know.
You’re going to lose your lunch when you put it on eBay for a £100 start price and see what it goes for. It won’t be £590 I’m afraid.

Having spent some time looking for a rim brake frame earlier this year, the market for this is about 350-400 quid.

Dropped even more. There was a 2019 argon 18 gallium pro, in good condition, that was on ebay for a couple of months with starting bid at 400, never sold.

Appreciate all of the comments and yes with so much overstock on new stuff and so many new bright shiny things to spend money on it’s difficult to shift anything in these times. Amazing how rapidly the decline of rim brake has accelerated in the past few months. I’m guilty myself: instead of building this up as a winter roadie I bought a shiny new disc brake frame instead, convincing myself with the future proofing argument. Should have sold it 2 years ago in the original listing, Ah well

Tbf I wish I had waited and bought this instead of the supersix evo hi mod frame I bought.

There’s always room for just one more…

It's a rim brake repaired frame. Most you should ask for is £150. It is a broken repair. I'd build it aa a single speed or pub hybrid...
