will that be one of the paintjobs?

 

[dexterq20]

Bowers and all his prototype/unreleased bikes... what a bastard.

 

[X777]

i will have a look into the paintjobs and will post colour combinations tomorow...
no photos though, but at least you'll know what to expect...

 

[ianjenn]

Waiting to hear. X777 may get the lowdown before me!

 

[saruti]

the bike look so small....

 

[Jakedizzle]

Those are some sweet pictures

 

[X777]

Here you go guys...

Here you go guys...

NO!!!! That second color.....good God.

 

[IH8Rice]

NO!!!! That second color.....good God.

Kawasaki green anyone?

the 3rd one looks similar to the current paint scheme on the Demo

 

[demo 9]

I think the candy cane looks ok, not a huge fan of the green

 

[wood booger]

the bike look so small....

That is just because it is being ridden by a hockey player/gorilla.

Jeff can make any bike look like a pixie.

 

[X777]

second from top is yellow/black not green... sorry guys

 

[zdubyadubya]

basically the one that started this thread... cool. i definitely can dig the "bumblebee" scheme

but I WANT this bike... whatever happened to the understated bad A paint schemes... a matte black ano would kill

 

[demo 9]

im with u

 

[rockofullr]

Moar!

He's 6', not that huge. He couldn't handle hockey anyway

The peppermint one has lots of room on it for sponsor logos.

I think they all looks pretty damn good! Yellow+black is the sweetest.

What's going on with the rear shock mount? Is it a custom forked end to the shock, or is it a separate link between the shock and the chainstay section? If the latter how is rotation at the shock mount prevented?

Nice one, cheers.

Perhaps I should spend more time paying attention to pinkbike...

I wish I could get a raw one to paint myself... since I am a painter..

 

[karpi]

I dig the red black paint scheme. Anyone know what price they'll be at?

pretty much specialized's entire fleet so far has gone up 10-15%. I imagine the demo will get similar treatment.

Here you go guys...

Thanks a lot - so these will be the frame only colors?

 

[daday]

oh i sure hope the green black one comes out - really liking it - and hope the CCDB fits on it!

 

[Ithnu]

If they made an anodized black I know be far more interested in it. Overall it looks like a great improvement over the 2010 and older bikes.

Demo 8 l

 

[zdubyadubya]

i'd hate to say it.... but i think that the color coordination has almost gone too far in the bike industry. 4 years ago, there was none. 2 years ago it was sharp but not tacky, now.... this is just ridiculous. the anodized parts should be "accents" not half the color scheme. when i see the black/yellow one, all I can think of is

 

[ollyforster]

I can honestly say my 2010 Demo is on ebay as soon as we get release dates! The green and black one will be mine!!!

Anyone figured out what wheelset is being specc'd on the 2011 completes?

Its obviously not DT like years past, but the pattern on the rim profile makes them look almost like an XT wheelset (which there is no way that can be possible)...

could also be Saint... I've seen some pics of them floating around and the graphics look similar IIRC

Anyone know about the brakes on CKs bike in that PB article? They aren't Elixrs are they? Code replacements?

News flash: Herndon's secret weapon

 

[demo 9]

Think it looks dope, too bad once you break or change parts, nothing comes in yellow, except maxxis letters of course
