They seem to be getting more and more popular lately for no apparent reason

Yeah, especially when I just got mine And no it isn't why you are probably thinking


Yeah i know it's stock, but around 40lbs so it deserves to be here. Will be lower than 39 hopefully by spring.

 

[norbar]

Kellyn how's the hope bb working for you?

Ciszewski yeah I know. In some places you can get really good prices on the demos but still the eyebrow shaped magnet works better than any discount

 

[ciszewski]

I think I got a better deal than the magnet

 

[kellyn7]

Just put the hope bb on but it seems very smooth.

 

[buckoW]

Udi extactly. You trully start to appreciate the long wb on a world cup class track. I was moaning all the time about the long wb of my bike until I did a little euro trip. When the things go fast, steep and nasty you want your bike to be as long as possible Living in a place with very tech dh track I'd even consider buying a larger frame for myself.

That is why I like the adjustable chainstays and head angles on some bikes. It lets you tune your bike to the trail. I can go 430mm to 440mm to 450mm CS and 64°, 65° or 66° HA. It is nice to have options when you are not hooking up like you would like to or the bike is feeling too sluggish in the tight stuff.

 

[norbar]

Yeah, I know what you mean. I love my adjustable HA. I'd get the gambler in an instant if it wasn't that heavy as it seems to have all the needed adjustments plus a nice finish. I think all companies should offer some kind of adjusment (not on shock mount if it changes the rates, for f's sake).

[Alpha Kenny Body]

[Bicyclist]

Nice M6!

[nenjarickard]

Got my new 39.93lbs bike today.

Pretty much stock so far but i plan to change some parts in near future.
And no, it's not my first Demo8.

 

[skatetokil]

My rig:

Haven't thrown her on the scale since I made some changes but should be right around 40 now with the shorter shock and the integrated stem.

 

[bullcrew]

That demo looks good, digging the blue plaid and the fork it works!

Thanks! Updated the image with a decent looking one where i also removed all the ugly stickers from the frame. Probably is 39.92 now.

 

[ciszewski]

Nice demo. Looks a lot better without the stickers. I like it.

 

[bullcrew]

Yeah I looked at it for a moment and had to think if i went crazy, suddenly no plaid! LMAO! Looks good!

I hate demo's but that rig is SICK!!!!! Great looking bike dude. If that is stock then that is stock build of the year so far, just good looking.

 

[ciszewski]

It looks stock to me. Except for maybe the brakes, they come stock with Elixers I believe, and aren't white.

 

[Huck Banzai]

I like your bicycles!!!!!!!!!

Nice V10 I like those bars.

 

[ciszewski]

wow nice V10. First one that actually made me say; "the V10 is one nice looking bike". And yes I have seen the new syndicate bikes

 

[norbar]

Very nice looking though weights kinda more what it looks.

If you remove the stopwatch (moto trainer look alike), the two neoprene chain protectors and the pieces of tube here and there (chainstay and near the carbon fender above the shock) you kinda get to the weight I wrote.

I was rather suggesting that I thought that it will be lighter than that than heavier

Sorry I misunderstood

My 224. 38.25 lbs.

 

[nenjarickard]

Awsome rides guys!

It looks stock to me. Except for maybe the brakes, they come stock with Elixers I believe, and aren't white.

Actually they're stock aswell, costum colored Elixirs.

Changed seat, tires and cockpit so far.

Looks good. You could knock hlaf a pound off of that by putting some good pedals on there. 5050's weigh like 650 grams.

 

[CountryBoy]

I was thinking either the new deity or something else. Any recommendations?

Yeah the tires are the SX casing so I am kind of cheating, but otherwise I can't see how to get it so light.

Hehe i know, that is why i asked.

Tbh, screw WW'ing and sattle with close to 40 pounds. Get components you like to ride instead of components that weights less...
For example you will probably be sick of the single ply tires soon.

 

[numerik]

Our 2009 Team bike. Pretty much stock, except for seat, cockpit and pedals. Tires will be Hutchinson, but Spec Chunder tires were nice surprise.

 

[Prettym1k3]

Weighed yesterday. 40.47 lbs. with the heavy Holzfellers and heavy Boxxer Team.

 

[Trekrules]

Zumbi's are so nice,awesome bike looks good.
