Size Guide
Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Cancelled / Refunded Orders Prior to Despatch

Occassionally our site will state that a particular item is in stock & avaible for despatch, when in fact it isnt. This is a unfortunate feature of our ecommerce system & the way our supplier SIM's operate and is beyond our control. As a result your order may be cancelled without prior notice if a solution cannot be found in good time. When this happens we will endevour to issue you a full refund as quickly as possible. Please check your emails for notifications on the status of your order. We will accept no responsibilty for emails dropping into spam folders or going un-noticed.

2016 Scott Contessa Scale 700 Womens Hardtail Mountain Bike

Season:2016

Brand:Scott

Code:VAR241470

The SCOTT Contessa Scale 700 features a superlight Alloy Frame with Contessa Solution Geometry. The 700 model comes fully equipped with an upgraded FOX 32 Float fork, along with Scott’s RideLoc technology to allow for three travel settings to always optimize your ride. The Shimano XT / SLX groupset keeps everything running smooth and with a 2 x 10 system you'll have the gears to ride almost anything. The Scott Contessa range is fitted with women's specific control parts such as Handlebar, stem, grips and seat. These have been designed to complement the frame design and suit women better then the standard set up. 

 Available in the 27.5" and 29" wheel size.

When choosing a hardtail mountian bike you first need to consider a few things. Firstly what is your budget and secondly what kind of terrain you want to ride on. 

Budget: We offer mountain bikes from £400 upwards. Yes you can buy Mountains Bikes for less but in most cases we don't believe they are fit for purpose especially for areas such as Cannock Chase. We would always recommend that at least you choose a bike with hydraulic brakes and a reasonable 100mm suspension fork. Below this price point we find most bikes have insufficient quality brakes and poor quality forks that wear very quickly developing play in the bushes on the fork within no time. 

Trail: In general there are 3 different frame designs that manufactures use. These are leisure / trail and XC. The frames differ in  design to suit these areas of the sport. Such as a leisure frame will offer a more upright position against an XC design which will be lower at the front end and offer a more aggressive ride.
