What an absolutely beautiful bike❤ I was mesmerized watching this video. So informative yet relaxing to watch. I been wanting a scout 290 and liked the artichoke color but available only in the race build that is until I saw this color…..Race red correct? Again, awesome job and bike❤
Thanks. Yes, 50mm. It's quite stiff, but never tried this bike on a rock-garden, so didn't noticed any unsupportable vibration yet. If you're concerned, I'd recommend the 31.8mm version.
More impressive to look at than the ragley. If im gonna strip a bike anyway I remove the chain derailleur & caliper before the wheel. Unless it's a sram with a lock on installed 😂 That's probably bad... Why use red moly type instead of white lithium on axles etc? Any advantages?
Nope, just that grease I had at that moment (and it looks like sour cherry jelly :) You are right. Removing the chain and derailleur before the wheel is a smart idea. Thanks!
My wife (the builder in this video) wanted to convince me to choose the blue one, but everyone knows, the red cars are faster, so the bikes as well :)) Hope you'll like your frame as I like mine. Have fun with it!
@@atiboa my wife has a red Trek, really similar in colour to the new Scout so that swayed me towards the blue. Thanks mate, I will enjoy my frame while I have it. I know I will be swapping all my components over to a new frame the second a purple Scout comes out though so I’m no too shattered. Enjoy the Scout, the red looks great 👍
Thank you so much , I have just bought the same frame . This answered so many questions I had.
You are an artist. My desire for a Nukeproof Scout aside this video is beautiful.
Nice work! Beautiful colour😍 have fun!
Thank you!
Beautiful work!!
Great video! And thank you - I am
Just about to build up my V3 in Yellow. This helped a lot!!
Great to hear!
Nice work ! Nice video! Keep going!
👌beautifull build👍never built me own before, but would like to one day🤔
if you have the proper tools, i can recommend it! it's fun, and you'll have a personalized rig, which is "faster and better" than anything else :D

Thank you :)
Yes, it's called Racing Red. Under sunshine looks even better!
Hug the bunny!
Beautiful build! I was planning on getting the same steam-bar combo but I worry the vibration might become a problem. Is that the 50mm steam?
Thanks. Yes, 50mm. It's quite stiff, but never tried this bike on a rock-garden, so didn't noticed any unsupportable vibration yet. If you're concerned, I'd recommend the 31.8mm version.
Thank you. That's a great idea. @@atiboa

I bought the 2023 frame in blue. I haven’t started my build yet but I’m starting to think I bought the wrong colour!

frame size?
XL
is it the 290?
Yes, the 29" version.
What size?
It's an XL.
Nukeproof changed the sizes with this generation (Scout v3), they offer up to XXL now.
Ragley BigWig as a donor.....i like the build but not so the swap..It feels like a downgrade 🙂
Some parts were upgraded, but not the frame.
The frame swap is simply a personal preference (the fear of the rust is my enemy :))
Right. Toons of money and time... Where is the fun? ppl
Too much grease on bb😢
How much is too much? How much is the perfect amount? How many times you had a jammed BB because of oxidation? TY.
