Probably didn't want the paint job by two year old frameset.oster_oops:I gotta ask though, why not go with a demo 7, is it that much heavier?
You've given me a punchline for every starting line this season.... looks like a slow lesbian's bike.
Well, at least it matches my shorts.Love the bike, hate the color, looks like a slow lesbian's bike.
with a bunch of slow lesbians cheering you on no doubt.I did an extensive parking lot test on this bike.
Well you did promise a jersey last year but since you backed out of that one I have ordered a extra jersey and new short tooI hope you upgraded your Evil football jersey. I've never seen you without it, I thought it was a tattoo.
As far as the DT rims, they are the 5.1's and I ran them all last year.
DT makes their own tubeless rim strip for them, and I really like the setup. I only destroyed one of them last year which was good for me, so I decided to try them again. Are you coming down to da hollow again?
Nope, just bike industry dorks and your mom.with a bunch of slow lesbians cheering you on no doubt.
6.75" of travelhow much travel does the sx have? When it says 9.0x2.75" does that mean it has 9in of rear travel, sorry for the newb question but that bike looks soo hot, its almost making me want to get one and put a 40 on it...hmm
ah thanks6.75" of travel
9" is the I To I and 2.75" is the shock stroke.
dope build!
damn those bars do look low! I'm runnin the mid ea70 with a 555 axle to crown 06 66rc2x, and sometimes it feels too low in my opinion. I have considered getting a little taller fork or moving to a little higher rise bar.... b.b. heigths seems fine though.... what length cranks you running? I'm runnin 170....
I want a double barrel.....
I need to come down and ride...
man, she left that coast long ago.your mom.
dhbuilder's mom or the bike?Veryyy nIIce. In my country, they would go crazy for her.
Thanks for posting those numbers, that's really helpful to me and I'm sure other people. I'm surprised at the Demo 7's weight.Just recieved the weights from Specialized
07 SX Trail 7,75lbs
07 Demo 8 10.75lbs
07 Demo 7 11lbs
All with shock.
So the SXT is a considerably lighter frame.

I'm not entirely positive but are the demo 8 and 7 frames or at least the front triangles the same?Thanks for posting those numbers, that's really helpful to me and I'm sure other people. I'm surprised at the Demo 7's weight.
Yep, the only difference in those frame weights are annodized vs. the paint.I'm not entirely positive but are the demo 8 and 7 frames or at least the front triangles the same?
There's a little note at the bottom of the frame description that an aftermarket shock shuttle/mount is available for 'demo 7' travel and geometry.
Plus the frame measurements are identical.
Yes, this is ture.I'm not entirely positive but are the demo 8 and 7 frames or at least the front triangles the same?
