Notes from MyBikeThing

“Engineering Excellence” Serial #IDA1071

 As Performance Bike’s premium house brand, these frames offered exceptional value while delivering pro-level performance, making them a coveted choice among informed cyclists. Born from Taiwan’s prestigious cycling heritage, the Scattante CFR represents the perfect fusion of Asian manufacturing precision and European racing design.

The Ride

A beloved frame among those who ventured into value over the high price of brand recognition and at a mere 2.5lbs for the frame and under 1lb for the fork, this full carbon-fiber masterpiece delivers an exceptional balance of performance characteristics. The frame’s sophisticated layup provides impressive power transfer while maintaining comfort for longer rides. Sharp handling and eager acceleration make this an ideal platform for both criterium racing and spirited group rides.  The compact geometry delivers the perfect blend of performance and versatility – giving you enhanced power transfer and nimble handling while the longer seatpost naturally dampens road vibration for all-day comfort. Plus, the sloping top tube design means you’ll get a lighter, stiffer frame that’s easier to fit properly.

Condition

Frame presents in excellent condition. Minor clear coat blemishes and chips. No structural issues or damage to the carbon fiber. Original finish remains vibrant.

Before You Buy – A Note from Paul

Every frame I sell has been personally inspected and honestly described, but I want you to be 100% confident in your decision. Please take a moment to watch the detailed video included with this listing. Due to the personal nature of frame fit and the cost of shipping, I cannot accept returns. That’s why I encourage you to reach out to me directly with any questions, whether they’re about dimensions, condition, or build suggestions. I’m Paul – not a chatbot, not a sales team, just a fellow cyclist who wants to make sure this frame finds the right home. Let’s talk about this frame and make sure it’s perfect for you before you buy.

Sizing & Fit

A bike frame with these measurements (53cm top tube reach, 51cm seat tube) would typically be considered a “Medium” compact geometry sizing. This sizing nomenclature comes from traditional bike sizing where frames were more uniformly proportioned. In compact geometry frames, manufacturers often use the approximate middle ground between the top tube and seat tube measurements to designate the size, though specific sizing conventions can vary between brands.

• Top Tube (actual): 51.5cm (center-to-center)
• Seat Tube: 51.3cm (top-to-center)
• Down Tube: 61cm (center-to-center)
• Head Tube: 13.5cm
• Chainstays: 41cm (center-to-center)
• 700c wheels
