A red Scott with drop bars and tan-wall knobby tyres, on a gravel drive with a hedge and a golden field behind it in low sun.

The story

No model decal left on this one, so it goes in the register as what we can prove: a Scott, mid-nineties, cro-moly, and red enough to be seen from the next valley.

Rebuilt light and simple. Nothing on it that cannot be fixed by the side of a road with the tools in a saddlebag.
