how 'bout this: (Darren B's SX-Trail)
tatoo demo7 - enter at your own risk !
- Thread starter ilfreerider
- Start date
Darren's is pretty sweet IMO. I wouldnt mind the tattoo if it only had the headtube stickers. Other than that I think it's pretty cool and original. However, seeing thousands of that same paint scheme would definetly get played out.
I defo prefer Bearclaw's to the tattoo one!
Good god that SX looks horrible
For some weird reason I'm craving rainbow icecream though...

I sure as hell am glad I don't care how things look.
I want that frame (in ANY paintjob) so badly.

i get your point and i actually dont think the bike is that bad, actually im on the fence on this kind of stuff v/s flames/gothic typefaces and that sort of setup
but, i also think that a bikeco as big as speczed coming out with a paint or sticker scheme like this, automatically makes it cookie cutter, so part of your argument i cant hang with at all.
Do we even know this thing is real? Where did this come from?
A big clump of graphics in one spot like the headtube might be cool, but i think it's bad...

ok sorry if i missed that...should be interesting...preppie said:
Yikes!, I saw a bike like that before, where did I see it, oh yeah a c-dale from the really early nineties, too glam rocked out for me. no thank you
They are thinking that people will start threads like these and give them free press...Zark said:
If you are at all into the "steez" scene at alot of the mountains where these bikes are being sold, this scheme is accepted. It is sort of big in the snowboard world right now too...See the bright yellow one piece's oakley riders are wearing, just an ugly fad that will pass...
B-Claw can run it, but commoners will need to be careful...
I heard they're holding back the tribal stuff till interbike
After buying 3 new Specialized bikes a year since 1999 (hardtail, Xcountry/AM, DH/Freeride), it's all becoming quite clear. It's finally time to switch to Santa Cruz. Goodbye Demo 9, hello V-10. 15K a year to SC. Way to go Specialized. Good work. 
This frame is ugly itself, but its still a head turner 
It's sad to see people try so hard to be different. Just...be. Be comfortable in your own skin. Be comfortable on a black bike. Stop caring about turning heads.
I don't need an ugly bike to be an individual.

I was thinking the same thing. I always look to buy a Santa Cruz but end up buying a Specialized. But...SC has a bunch of great colors to choose from and Specialized has fake tatoo and argyle.FatalExposure said:After buying 3 new Specialized bikes a year since 1999 (hardtail, Xcountry/AM, DH/Freeride), it's all becoming quite clear.

they should rename the frame to emo...
Yeah, gotta agree. I don't need a frame maker to put out something that looks like a 3rd grader went to town with a crayon. I'll put on my own stickers and what not if I want it to stand out. At least if I do it, it will be what I like and not what others dictate.
they would have a hard time selling it to macho crowd with it crying all the time.fiddy_ryder said:
haha, awesome comments!
Oh, and that German dude is mental...who the f*ck cares enough about mineral oil being non-toxic to actually drink from a bloody brake calliper, ZE GERMANS, ZEY ARE CRAZY!

and you can choose from 6 head badges

so wait is that really the way the bike will be? or was this just a custom gone terribly.... ugly. it seems like it would be expensive to do all that painting or are they decals either way it looks like it would still be a sweet ride minus the collage of tattoos
its official, no longer the Demo 7. we're gonna drop the D and go with Emo 7. We just need to come up with one more emo haircut to bring the head badge choices to 7... its only fitting right? the frame is trying so hard to be different and is totally misunderstood in its uniqeness....
Meanwhile, I bet that is a fun bike. Just add the cost of a can of Krylon to the purchase price.
how can you forget faux hawk? nothing says tough, but not commited like a faux hawk.fiddy_ryder said:
I don't mind the thing. I think it's sorta cool looking...hopefully I'll be the only one riding it.
Anyway, someone in this thread mentioned that they may all be stickers. If that is the case, then this is by far the most normal of the '07 color schemes. I dig the red link also.

i've NEVER seen. the Thor fork on a bike EVER. i wonder how it rides, wait no. no i'm good. thanks for the pics thoughbikenweed said:Bearclaw's bike looks far too much like this one:
The bike belonged to this dude:
Who is currently drinking a beer through a Magura caliper to prove mineral oil is non-toxic. He's German.
That funky 5 pointed star by the 4 leaf clover and the blue bird by the seat post ...what are they supposed to symbolize?
