Almost Classic Carbon Scott C1 / CR1 Team 2003(?) Build

Recently picked up a Scott CR1 (labelled C1 on top tube, CR1 on rear wishbone), one of the early lightweight sub 1kg frame Scott’s.. think it’s a 2003 model, please correct me if I’m wrong…. Frame has a few marks in the normal places but nothing a bit of lacquer can’t sort.

Non original fork - Real Design HP Pro full carbon, not seen these before, if anyone remembers them?

Planning on a dura ace 10 groupset, period Mavic SLR wheelset..

Not a classic yet (or ever??) but keen to see how it rides 😎

Sub’d and the yountimer thread needs a revival, this could be a good candidate 👍🏻 https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/354653/?offset=25

Thanks mattyc, need to do a tidy build to get it on there :)

7800 or 7900?

7800, can’t resist the shininess… picked up a groupset and a set of compatible FSA rings, the dura ace rings seem to be £££ now, pretty close appearance but only £50 the pair

Good call! Ideally, I‘d say 7800 with 7900 shifters and you have the best of two worlds: a tidy cockpit and the shininess ;)

Just checked prices of levers, my lord they’re a few quid… not sure my ocd could handle a mixed group either 🤣

There’s a pair for sale on here atm. Condition isn’t great though and the price isn’t a steal either. Think I paid 200gbp for a complete 7800 group on here just 2 or 3 years ago...

Some build examples I found, not the most popular being in existence pre phone camera. Can’t find much detail online at all

Thanks for the link, looking for some with a little less abuse, although they probably work fine!

I think this was a brand that used to belong to American Bicycle Group. Merlins and Litespeeds came with them. ABG still owns Litespeed I think.

Great project, this thread also needs a bump

The white pinarello with gold hoops is a stunner, excellent thread

Class project. Look forward to seeing the result!

Weights of frame/fork/post… not bad for an old un

This used to be the ultimate weight weenie dream frameset. It came with an equally light weight fork.

I remember searching forever to find this specific one with the small carbon weave. I sanded it down to lose some extra weight, but never built it up in the end.

Do you still have it? They’re doesn’t seem to be many knocking about any more!

Saw this bike for sale with a mostly Dura ace groupset ultegra brakes

@IrPOWERranger might have some shifters?

Yep, I have some 7801 shifters (2x10) in great nick (a couple minor blemishes). Let me know if you want more info/pictures.

I purchased a whole 7800 groupset from Italy on eBay last month, should have levers but thank you! May have been better getting the Kuota and splitting looking at the price 🤦‍♂️

Some Friday night digging to see other builds..

After waiting 6 weeks for the Italian eBay groupset purchase I decided that the shipment was lost in the post…

In the meantime I purchased another dura ace 10 speed groupset from eBay (same chap who was selling the TVM gazelle frame) which was probably a little overpriced but is in superb condition.

Then today both packages arrived 🤦‍♂️🤣

Now looking to move one on, although my brother may buy it for a build he is doing.

If not I’ll be putting it on here!!
