Eurobike: Scapin 2008

Scapin

There isn't a year that passes that we aren't impressed by the new offerings from Scapin. The new range, which we saw at Eurobike, didn't fail to impress - here's the pick of the bunch

scapin_ekle_lo

Ekle SL - I think I've found my new bike...

scapin_ekle_seat_lo

The full carbon frame has an integrated seat tube

scapin_ekle_head_lo

Scapin bikes manage to look better with every passing year

scapin_dyesys_lo

Dyesys S8 - combines steel with carbon seat tube, head tube and chain stays

scapin_etika_sl_lo

Etika gets lighter with an SL version

scapin_special_side_hi

The Special is a new old bike - it's styled along the lines of how bikes used to be designed but brought up to date with a few Scapin touches

scapin_special_head_lo

It exudes sophisticated style, it says here in the press material. I tend to agree

scapin_special_seat_lo

Internal routing of the rear brake cable inside the top tube

scapin_style_side_lo

The Style. Scapin has a liking for mixing steel and carbon in one frame, the Style does this with a full carbon seat tube, down tube and chainstays

scapin_style_seat_lo

The carbon seat tube extends right up to the saddle

scapin_style_rear_lo

Slender steel seat stays merge with the carbon chainstays
