Ok just comparing again we have the old Scott steel tanks. Does anyone carry these still?

We carry the Scott composites. There may be one or two steel tanks hanging around, but if there are we don't use them.

All composite, thank Buddah! I pity anybody who still has to hump steel bottles!

Unfortunately we have a lot of these steel bottles. But nearly a third of our bottles are Composite.
