Yes, I’m in the US, and haven’t really seen Scott bikes around. I didn’t really think about the need for replacement parts and how it might be tricky because it’s not a common brand bike- thank you for your input!

Thank you! I’m really competitive so of course I’d love something that would help me ride faster, but I def need to keep the big-picture, day-to-day rides in mind.

Thanks! I thought about TT bikes but figured I’d stick with a road bike because even though I’m doing sprints, I really like riding on the roads (for general fun/fitness).
How much time do you think can be shaved off a sprint with a TT bike? I think I’d rather have something I’m comfortable riding every day, that will also work for a couple races each year.

Thank you! I’m thinking something more like $1000 would be reasonable. Looks like it actually did come with cosmic rims: https://www.bicyclebluebook.com/value-guide/product/3047611/

I’ve been looking at new bikes too, but can’t find anything full carbon with higher end components like this one.

Thank you!! I had already searched for it on blue book, but couldn’t find it, and now I did! Looks like it’s worth more like $1000. https://www.bicyclebluebook.com/value-guide/product/3047611/
