Hey - nice ride!
There was a guy racing semi-pro at the U.S. Open riding one of those and killing it... I was considering getting an 06' Big Hit myself before I got the new frame I have now.
I'm guessing your build is around 40 to 41 lbs. I am right?

well atleast it doesnt have a 24" rear wheel anymore.
No doubt, the 24" rear wheel ruined that bikefrznnomad said:well atleast it doesnt have a 24" rear wheel anymore.
But what is your gripe with Specialized? I've noticed it in a couple threads. Did Mike Sinyard sodomize your dog?
word.
i still dont get why boxxer's came with drop crowns stock.. they dont fit a majority of the bikes out.. other than that the bike looks pimp
ya that was me at the open riding the 06 Big Hit, the bike is awesome, nice and nimble, strong, fsr works great, more linear than demo so better over bumbs, good under braking cause of squating, 1lb. lighter than the demo 8, option to run an air shock, great geo, mine is built up to 38.07lbs for dh riding, ended up 19th of 60 in Pro for the final at the US Open, and about 155 riders tried to qualify, so pretty stoked on the bike.

Oh - that was you? I ran into you and your buddy in the Days Inn parking lot the one night.
Way to kick ass - nice finish.

just not a fan of them man. i never really have liked them and i dont really plan on it. i mean i respect them for all that they have done for the sport i just dont like them. all the times that i have had dealings with there cs i just havent liked the way that they dealt with there customers and if when i buy a bike i want to trust the company that i buy from and well i honestly dont trust them. great bikes, great talent, but in my opinion crappy pr i guess you could call it.
no it honestly wasnt the shops fault. i have had enough bad experiances and seen to many reps that come in acting all high and mighty and honestly i dont like it or them so i made the decision to not support them and feel that there are better bike designs and better companies out there than specialized.
sweet. what parts did you change out to git it that light? i just ordered mine and want to build it down some.what model is yours? i got the FSR 3.SPrider said:ya that was me at the open riding the 06 Big Hit, the bike is awesome, nice and nimble, strong, fsr works great, more linear than demo so better over bumbs, good under braking cause of squating, 1lb. lighter than the demo 8, option to run an air shock, great geo, mine is built up to 38.07lbs for dh riding, ended up 19th of 60 in Pro for the final at the US Open, and about 155 riders tried to qualify, so pretty stoked on the bike.

I ran into SPrider in the parking lot outside our hotel at the U.S. Open and talked a bit about his bike.
Going from memory and judging by the picture he is running the following to save weight:
Shimano XT Hollow Tech cranks
Gamut P-40 Chain Guide
Fox 40RC2
... and a Ti spring?... can't remember exactly.
I don't mean to speak on his behalf, but I don't think he posts here that much, so I thought I'd lend a hand.
