Bump..

Anyone seeing 2023 Foils at bike stores, or see any frameset for sale? Very interested in the black one.

I pre-ordered my 2023 last year and crashed and wrote off my current bike a few weeks ago, and therefore have been getting ETA updates of the RC 10 ("black one") ever since. It's been a wild ride.

Correct. Though it's really end of Autumn, here in Western Australia. For further context, my RC10 will apparently be one of the first frames into the state (maybe country). The others are even slower.

Having said that, originally the RC10 size 58 was one of the last frames after the RC Ultimate/Pro. But everything is moving. So who knows.

Here in Asia the RC Ultimate frameset is already available, but the Syncros integrated aero bars are October yet

Has anyone thought about making a shim to put over the steerer to enable the use of standard cockpits?

What does the steerer look like? I didn't even realise it wasn't round.

Can you not just use their stem with someone elses bar? That's the main reason I got the foil over most other aero bike options - to fit my 35cm enve handlebars.

If you deeply want to use an integrated handlebar, I guess that's more of a problem?

Yeah I want to use an integrated cockpit but the ones Scott makes don’t go narrow enough for me

Oh crap, i must say your patience is impressive!
Isn't Cervelo S5 a more easily accessible option?

I run 35cm handlebars with 31.8 clamping diameter. The foil lets me use them, as did the venge disc that it is replacing. The S5 would not let me do that.

I have the same quesiton. I have a 2020 Addict RC with One piece Creston Handlebar.

I am considering buy the 23 Foil Frameset and swapping component. Curious if they work... ?

*Edit: Looks different... Bummer

that 1997 vintage 1" steerer design...man the swiss do some weird stuff.

also you gotta dremel the inside radius in that integrated stem. the finishing is so bad from Scott that its sharp enough to gouge hoses.

Haven't heard about many Scott fork failures lately, though there was definitely a spate 3-5 years ago. Wall thickness looks ok. But this basically means you're stuffed if you want to run a higher stack of spacers and have the safety of a longer expander - because they don't exist to fit 1" fork steerers. Plus you need the sleeve if you're going to fit a 1 1/8" stem or cockpit.
