1. Really…?

2. Abso-bleedin’-lutely!

3. See it looks like the seat stays join the seat tube just a fraction too high, and I mean just a fraction from what I can tell.

   The rear brake cable seems too short and the brake levers aren’t at the same angle.

   It’s also got an extraneous derailleur hanger run like that.

   Small but for a show bike these things should all be right!

4. Ever seen a Scapin Bandit, or any other Scapin MTB for that matter? That’s seat stays joining too high – just not an issue on this bike.

   Rear brake cable? No issue as far as I can see. The levers possibly point down excessively, but it might be a rider with big hands who likes them that low – again, no issue.

   As for the mech hanger, it’s a frame that can be run with gears or as an SSer, and the mech hanger is part of the frame.

   Man, you’re pickier than I am…!

5. Yeah those Scapin MTB’s are wrong, so wrong…

   Yep know it can be run with gears, but as it’s SS it should be run with a dropout with the hanger removed and come with a spare Paragon do make them I think…

   Sam’s a mate as well so it’s fun nit picking he’d do the same to me with my bikes and I’d expect just as harsh treatment.

   Lovely looking thing though none the less.

6. The hanger isn’t removable is all I was saying – it’s actually a part of the frame, hence it being acceptable that it’s there despite being SS’d.

7. Rick look closely and you’ll see it’s a screwed on hanger it should be fitted with the derailleur mount less version when it’s SS.
