"Even though titanium bikes are as common as pine needles, a good looking bike like the DEAN never hesitates to bring out comments on the trail."

"It's a terrific value with excellent feel, design and performance."

"Another thing in the bike's favor is its light weight, at just under 24 pounds, which makes climbs, responsiveness and overall handling that much easier."

"By keeping frame size choices minimal and without providing custom options, DEAN is able to supply an excellent titanium frame without sacrificing quality."

"The DEAN Scout is one of the best deals of the year, whether you get just the bare frame or opt for a factory build kit. It's light, feels good, and rides great."
