"holy skyscraper-BB...."

I highly doubt it.
Specialised bike generally have lower than average BB height.
Both my bighits (comp and DH) have really low BBs.

it's about at least 14.5" in the picture. It's not that hard to figure out, from the center of the axle to the edge of the tire is about 13.25" usually.

That SX is hot - just don't care for the paint job!

Espen · Aug 31, 2004

There are more new frames too. The Stumpjumper FSR 120 looks nice!

Have anyone testet out the "DH shoes"??

no I think he's talking some new flat pedal shoes Specialized were suppose to make.

Espen · Aug 31, 2004

Actually, I was thinking about the Sawpit's. Have any of you tested these?

I think they are coming up with more flatties-shoes as well.

I think some Euro Magazine - I want to say German - tested the sawpits? I saw it on the internet somewhere - look around. They were a 2004 product also. Looks like an awesome DH/FR clipless shoe to me :thumb:

I though you had a pair of Sawpits?

syadasti · Aug 31, 2004

No I only have shimano and northwave FR shoes. The Shimanos are waay better.

Acadian · Aug 31, 2004

ah okay...knowing you're a parts whore, thought that maybe you had a pair

What's the deal with the shock reservoir on the SX Trail? Surely it just doesn't stick out there with no mounting bracket.

see page 4 of this thread.

Bicyclist · Sep 1, 2004

All the labels are wrong on that link of the complete line. There is no BigHit expert, just a "Bighit FSR." What they call a BigHit expert is really the International BigHit. The Demo 8 Pro is the one with the Fox Fork, and the Demo 8 is the one with the Boxxer. The Demo 9 Pro is the one with the chainguide, and the Demo 9 is the one without it.

Mr. Furious · Sep 1, 2004

Anyone with a catalog know if the Demo8 or SX Trail are available as 'frame only'

Bicyclist · Sep 1, 2004

I don't think so. But the build on the Demo 8 and the SX Trail is pretty sweet IMO.

DVNT · Sep 1, 2004

Demo 8

Anybody want to buy a kidney? Will trade.

How much are you asking ?..

punkassean · Sep 1, 2004

I am almost positive the D8 will be available as a frame only however the SX doesn't appear to be. I think it should be though since it is a high-level bike
(you know the pro's will be riding the SX's with custom builds).

DVNT · Sep 1, 2004

I'm gonna try to be smart this time and not throw down the c.card on an impulse buy. After I build up my SX and lose a bunch of races with it I'll start looking at the D8's.

Maybe I'll start hitting the sperm banks now.

The sx with the air shock is available frame only.

Yes but that is a very different bike, the SX Race gets 4.2" with an air shock where the SX trail gets 6.0" with a coil-over. Someone looking to buy the SX trail frame-set is not going to want the SX race as an alternative (most likely)...

math2014 · Sep 1, 2004

And now they 03/04 SX can go at 6"

How? BETD links/longer shock?

math2014 · Sep 1, 2004

yep, brand new BETD linkage plus a longer stroke shock me thinks.

I posted it yesterday here.

When should we expect the full review?

math2014 · Sep 1, 2004

Hmmm should i open a paypal account for donations now?

Unfortunately i got to get a road bike pretty soon, so i ll be real tight up until xmas...

DVNT · Sep 1, 2004

mmm road bike vs. an Enduro SX with 6" travel.....

Call BETD and see if they'll "loan" you one. You can explain that you represent a lot of :dancing: 's and that it could possibly increase their N.A. sales........

Ok... they'd call B.S. on that, but hey wouldn't hurt to try.

math2014 · Sep 1, 2004

Well, if it is just the link plate then it means high compression to juice out of 1.5" shock 6" of wheel travel
If it means that you need a 2" stroke shock, then it means big cost...
I reckon that for the time beeing 4.5" is ok, the shock and frame is practically still new...
Having said that, you got a point

Mr. Furious · Sep 2, 2004

Ah nuts.
I was hoping the 6" coil over would come in frame-only.
I've got an '04 SX built up more for light freeride/whistler bike park use already.. I like the new design (But the poopy brown/black color is nasty)

Just curious as to what fork you are running.

I'm building mine up as a light freeride / swiss army bike as well.

math2014 · Sep 2, 2004

Same here, LightFR/HeavyTrail,

Z1 fork, MTX rims on Hope hubs, XT discs, NS cranks, E13 DRS, .... :drool:

I'm halfway through my build but running short on funds :help:

It's gonna be a Firefly with all saint stuff and trail pimps. oh and an E13 DRS as well.

math2014 · Sep 2, 2004

Trailpimps? why?

DVNT · Sep 2, 2004

math2014 said:

I wanted something really burly and stiff and don't really care about the weight.
If I actually start winning I'll get get something light to race with.
