Liquid Gold paint and a host of custom parts make for a phenomenal build <\/p>

Sweden-based Norwegian bike customiser Dangerholm, real name Gustav Gullholm, has turned his attention to the <\/span>Scott Foil RC<\/span>, creating an amazing custom bike with great graphics and a spec to die for.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s Dangerholm\u2019s first foray into customising road bikes. <\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s previously worked on super-light <\/span>custom Scott mountain bikes<\/span><\/a>, and his creations have included the <\/span>Scott Spark RC<\/span><\/a> ridden by Nino Schurter in the 2022 World Cup season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dangerholm says his objectives with the Foil RC<\/a> project were to: \u201cTake the essence of the Foil to the next level, building an aero bike with elegance and performance turned up to 11.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

38g of \u201cliquid gold\u201d paint<\/h2>\n

The Scott Foil Liquid bike\u2019s paint colour is named Liquid Gold. Dangerholm says it shifts from looking green, gold and almost blue to completely transparent so that you can see the black carbon fibre, depending on the lighting. In low light, it\u2019s said to look olive green.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The painting process started by stripping the frame and parts down to bare carbon before adding the paint, which Dangerholm says weighs only 38g.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Syncros Creston iC SL Aero cockpit has also had the paint treatment. The bars are wrapped in Syncros Super Light bar tape and fitted with a Syncros computer mount.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Foil has two seatpost options: the standard solid post and the CFT comfort variant, which has a cut-out at the rear for a light. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dangerholm has added a custom-painted 65g Coco Designs Spline saddle for the lightweight version. He says the saddle\u2019s flex makes it very comfortable, despite the absence of padding.<\/span><\/p>\n

The groupset for the Scott Foil Liquid is <\/span>SRAM Red AXS<\/span><\/a>, but with plenty of customisation. <\/span><\/p>\n

Even the brake levers have been stripped and repainted to match the bike. The standard Red crankset has been replaced by a Sturdy Cycles titanium one, which includes 3D-printed aero crank arms, a 50-tooth aero chainring and a titanium axle housed in a Kogel Ceramic bottom bracket.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dangerholm says that, with his mountain biking background, the larger jumps between ratios from <\/span>going 1x<\/span><\/a> didn\u2019t bother him \u2013 plus it\u2019s more aero.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the rear is a <\/span>SRAM Red AXS XPLR<\/span><\/a> wide-range derailleur, which was taken apart and polished, so that it matched the pre-production Kogel Kolossos Aero OSPW system, a new model due to be launched this summer. Dangerholm says he swaps between a 10-36t and a 10-44t SRAM Force cassette, dependent on the terrain.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a standard SRAM Red flattop chain and <\/span>Wahoo Speedplay Nano<\/span><\/a> pedals to round the drivetrain off.<\/span><\/p>\n

The brake calipers are from German brand Trickstuff, whose brakes are claimed to be the lightest in the mountain bike world, while its Power brake pads make them among the most powerful too. <\/span><\/p>\n

D\u00e4chle Ultra Light 160mm front and 140mm rear brake rotors are also from Trickstuff.<\/span><\/p>\n

The wheels are Bike Ahead Composites Aero six-spoke, one-piece carbon, which Dangerholm says weigh 1,450g.<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019re shod with 25mm front and 28mm rear <\/span>Michelin Power Cup<\/span><\/a> Competition Line tyres, which have had their logos sanded off to avoid sullying the bike\u2019s lines. <\/span>No tubeless here: they\u2019re set up with Revoloop Ultra Race 25g tubes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite all the upgrades, the Dangerholm Scott Foil RC weighs 7.1kg, so the UCI commissioners shouldn\u2019t be put out too much if one turns up at the next pro race. They won\u2019t like the unsanctioned solid-spoked wheels, though.<\/span><\/p>\n
