    Saw it got a good review alright so hence I have told my mate to get it but was wondering if anyone had any first hand experience. Know Lumen has the Addict and Scott Reynolds had/has a Scott and as far as I know both are very happy. just wondering was the CR 1 not good for some reason.

    The pre 2009 CR1 was and is a classic. So good that they changed just about nothing on it for 5 years and that`s saying something in a rapidly changing market. The new (ie.2010 CR1) is less than 100g heavier than the pure race breed R1 which is one of the lightest frames on the market anyway (790g). From a useage point of view the CR1 range is aimed more at the sportive side of the market. I`ve seen one the CR1 pro and to be honest it`s every bit a race machine you could want.
    Where you buy is big issue - from experience you`ll find it very hard to beat the customer care of SLANE CYCLES.
    Hope thats some help.

    I have the CR1 Pro 2009 version, purchased from Evans. I went for it because of its more relaxed geometry. I am not sure whether the frame is slightly too small (I went for the 56cm), but I feel more comfortable on my Cayo (58cm).

    Having said that, there is nothing specific I would criticise about the Scott. I've adjusted the set-up a bit, based on the knowledge gained on the Cayo, although I have not had a chance to give it much of a run-out recently. It's been sat on the turbo most of the winter and will probably only make appearances on some of the hillier sportives (it has a triple)
