It would look much better in the flat black version. Why there are so few black demos? The green here makes my eyes bleed.

btw. This is a Large? Because it looks quite long here.

Medium, from what i know, they only made a limited number of blacks(which i speculate was for teams/pros) its better in person, its alot less yellow, for whatever reason, cameras dont pick it up well (and this was a SICK camera)


^dont mind the shirt.

This is about as close to "real life" the color can look.

I know the real live colors. During the season opening in here there were at least 3 of those neon eye pluggers and no component color seemed to match it. It may only be me but the color seemed strange.

As for black I'm not sure if it's team only. That's a plain color and my friend had one on order but got delayed so he went with green.

I don't think the black/gold color is available over here. A friend of mine who works at Spechy got one and mentioned that it was a rare-international color.

40lbs and change seems heavy for a bike with I9's, 40's and a 105 mech.

Burns the eyes but I'm sure it rides a treat. Enjoy it

Using the 105 because its cheap and small, didnt have the money for a saint (i know ironic with the components) It will be upgraded to a saint SS when its smashed.

I was in a shop like an hour ago that has at least 4-5 of them in stock.

The black frames were back-ordered until early May, with numbers uncertain. I was a little surprised taking my giant highlighter out of the box, but it is much less about the color and more about the ride. It grows on you...literally, I think it is painted with depleted uranium - by the way, I think I'm developing super powers, more on that later.

The Path in Tustin custom ordered a container full of the Euro colored black/gold. I think there were a couple riding in Laguna today.
That explains it.


Let me know when you get a chance on that spring. It's also worth noting I want to put it on a CCDB so it needs to have a slightly larger ID than say a Fox or Marz spring. 2.75x300. Thanks a bunch.

It was a lot. Like I said they have at least 4-5 in stock, and I've seen a couple of them out that they've sold. So I'm guessing probably 10+. Not a full shipping container but that's still a lot of DH bikes for one shop to be moving.

It's not like they just sell Demos either. They've got at least 1 DHR in stock, couple Intenses, a V-10 carbon or two, etc. There's a LOT of inventory in there.

I agree, I like it better than any of the US colors.


Not that I'm buying a Demo so I don't really care.

For colors, My shop brought in a red/black complete, i liked that alot. Also has the ability to match pretty well, I dont think there is any way to make the green ones look "normal" Its a shame they dont sell that as a frame only. (i still would have gotten green)
