Thanks to @RetroRider_IT Marco this is the surprise I have from Italy
Wonderful Scapin Nope D8
Columbus Spirit steel with a dash of carbon
Crossmax and XTR M960 and Skareb Super forks
Me thinks I’ll at some point be thinking of a stem handlebar and seat post - something Italian.
Scapin Nope D8 (2007)
Scapins top line hardtail, the Nope D8 is made from Columbus Spirit steel, custom drawn for Scapin, then beautifully welded in the Scapin factory by true artists.
The steel is then ceramic bead blasted to strengthen the welds and prime the surface for the WPT weather proofing treatment. This involves an electrolosis process to coat the surface with Zinc salts, resulting in a frame that will withstand anything the weather can throw at it.
The steel is then mated to the Carbon seat tube and head tube insert using a highly advanced adhesive. The whole is then painted in the Scapin factories own paint shop, with six colours available as standard, or custom colours at extra cost.
The finished frame is the most responsive and fun to ride hardtail available, giving a fast ride with the added comfort of the high end steel. The sculpted shaped seat stays damping the trail buzz, with the combination of the carbon seat tube and over sized chain stays making sure that all your energy is utilised in forward motion.
The frame comes equipped with two bottle mounts and a race number mount.
The cable guides are fixed to the head tube rather than the down tube. The chain stay guide is adjustable enabling easy adjustment of Sram rear mechs.
