word on the street (dealer) is that the first batch of black ano demo frames arrived at specialized in morgan hill last friday. they are supposed to do an allocation count monday/tuesday to figure out how many are good to go and ready to be distributed. this is what they are telling me after i went in to get my downpayment back since i found a red/white one in stock elsewhere.
im gonna call lbs back tuesday and find out if i'm one of the lucky ones.
i contacted specialized earlier about it being "limited edition" and here is the response i received:
"...there will not be nearly as many produced."
....
ok.
I found someone on pinkbike that has a black frame.. he is from Taiwan. He said he is 30 minutes from the Specialized factory, and that his friends work there (and on this frame) and said only about 50 were made in the first batch. I kinda believe him - since he has one and he lives in Taiwan.
holding my breath....

I would not put too much stock in someone who lives near the factory.
I live 30 mintues from Apple and I couldn't tell you anything about how many iPads are shipping.

also, whats that fender? me like!
He's got some kind of team paint job on one, and he's got a second frame just sitting there.
I'd imagine he's got those because he pedals when he races.
Whoa now. No one said there was pedaling involved in winning races.
Keep the black one.
Some people dont have to
Both are truthful, i can speak from experience.
Just send both to me, and I will inspect them. Upon inspection, i will return the frame that you should keep. No charge.which one to keep?

@foxrocks @huntandride
Thanks. Home made fender that's been used on my demos since 2006.. for 2011 one I modified it a bit (two part) but basically still very simple. I hope the photo is clear enough.
Now, Mr Boomslang, can I apply for product designer in SBC ?
I see you go with the black one? Now upload some pics!
@ boomslang, there are many broken bumpers for fox 40, that i have seen,, are you doing something about that, maybe new ones? and when they are gonna be available?
dude. seriously, did you even read the thread? this question has been answered dozens of times. Yes, Yes, and Now.
haha, i like it! i think i may just buy a fender and modify it to fit, thanks

has anyone used the hive cranks on their demo? mine are here, but m buddy said that the cups dont fit in the bb30 cups, he said it had to be cut. i told him i read in the thread that it needs two spacers drive side 1 non, he insisted one drive side, zero non. anything ?
Hmmm, I don't quite remember w/ the press in threaded cup adapter things how the spacers work. The threaded BB30 cups are quite deep for the e*13 DH cranks, I could see them not threading in far enough in the plastic cups.
2 options:
-Call up e*13/Hive and see if they have the "real" PFBB30 cups ready for sale yet. They should. Ditch all the plastic cup adapter crap and run a metal press in BB cup.
-Call up the e*13/hive and get some of the XC style BB30 cups. They just don't thread in as deep as the DH ones, but they will work just fine.
You may have to experiment to get the spacers correct.
the bad news yesterday. my dealer told me, that the demo 8 I, size small, are sold out all over the world and i have to wait another 2 months.. this was the point, when i canceled my order and bought a lapierre 720
Knapps Cycles has 2 medium green demo 8s in stock. (trenton NJ area)
As for the mompaidforfastershipping tag, didnt help get mine here quickly

However, we hate zip ties here, so you'll need to take it to the next level.
Seriously, that is pretty nice.

You can get the newer ones immediatley from customer service and any dealer.

Jason/Boomslang:
are the black frames lighter than the yellow/black? I remember noticing some rims are 40g heavier with paint so stands to reason the ano finish will be lighter non? I'm sure you have better things to do than weigh production frames but.... have you? I'm trying to decide between colours and there's not much in it.

those are the 20 grams that are keeping you off the WC circut
No paint is lighter than paint. No way around that, just physics.
An anodized frame can be as much as 150 grams lighter than a painted version.
But everyone knows red or white is faster.
