Scott produced the Vail bike in 1997 and can be classified as a Mountain bike bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $699.00.
Vail bike is available in many sizes such as 14 (inches), 16 (inches), 17.5 (inches), 19 (inches) and 20.5 (inches).
Scott Mountain bike Vail can be found in one single color which is Yellow.
This bike is equiped with 26 x 1.95" Tioga Psycho TT tires and Stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Mavic 238, 32-hole. Scott equiped this exact model with Shimano Alivio M-System brakes, Shimano Alivio levers braking system and Front: aluminum, Rear: Shimano STX-RC hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Scott used Tange chromoly, double-butted material for the frame. Aluminum high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Vail to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Chromoly.
For the smoothest biking experience Shimano Deore LX, 24/34/42 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to KMC chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Scott, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano STX-RC RapidFire SL gear shift levers.
