$5 on "Specialized As Many Proprietary Parts As We Could Fit"
New Demo?
- Thread starter CraigS
- Start date
The Demo sucks. I've had mine for two full seasons and have yet to win a World Cup!
Funny how sponsorship money can go awry.
At this point, signing Gwin may be the worst move that company has made. People forget (IIRC) that his first season on it, he was coming off an injury. A lot of little things probably add up to the real reason his results fell off.
At the same time, the Athertons have done extremely well on GT, yet out of all the top contending brands I NEVER see GT on the mountain.

something tells me that signing gwin will have nothing but positive results for S bottom line regardless of his opening season with them. the majority of people like gwin whether he's winning or not and that counts for a lot when they are trying to emulate their favorite riders by buying what they run.
gt is odd - i always assumed it was a regional thing as to why i only see them on the internet.
I assumed it was because every few years GT disappears, then reappears under new ownership and wont stand behind any of their previous work.
Spesh will have the new demo out at Ft. Bill.
I only see GTs at walmart and in the trash, with a side of an occasional crack head riding one.
Speaking of timing, can you tell me when Redbull TV will show the race for EST?
No. Nor would we want it posted on here for anyone else on the East Coast to know.
If I found a Sensor or Sanction at Walmart, I'd be selling crack at the dollar general next door to cover my investment. Both are legit shred wagons imo.
GT are still clawing their way back to legitimacy after going full retard for such a long time.
Spec has the dealer network and therefore the brodeals to make sure that every guy who knows a guy who's on a team can get one for a reasonable price.
GT will be back soon, but it's going to take a while even if the athertons keep winning. The newer fury is enough of a departure that it might catch on. The older furys were so damned ugly.

I had my beer goggles on then. Plate 84 is Mitch, Bruni is 4 which is 650b for sure.
GT are also being ridden by Gee Atherton, who makes no-ones favourite rider list anywhere in the world ever. Nobody out there wants to be like, look like, ride like, behave in a manner similar to or piss in the ear of an on fire Gee Atherton. He is marketing kryptonite. His real name is also George.
gee is on my favourite rider's list.
Does that imply that he's on the favourite list of your favourite rider?

That means Gee is on the list, of jonKranked's favourite rider.
well, it certainly looks like a large back wheel but I think everybody was expecting a more drastic departure. Maybe Troy is toying with everyone.
prob because the frame is a small
Perhaps, but if you scroll back two photos there is a pic of his worlds bike. If you look at the relation of the top of the tire to the seat tube collar, (which I had to tilt my monitor due to the bike stand angle) it looks much taller.

I hope it comes with new shock shaft shearing technology!
Looks like a demo.
That's all I can say for now.
That's all I can say for now.
so it comes with extra chainstays?
Is that really what people care out. I personally could not care about what every image people think he has I care about who can come down that hill the fastest. I don't need down hills to be entertainers off the bike.
In order to give more stability on the shaft of the specialized shock.
Will it have shaft shearing technology, proprietary shaft technology, multi seat-stay technology and limited tuning technology? Unless it has all 4, what's the point?
At least they don't use fvcked up shock sizes for their dh bikes.
Equal shaft shearing opportunity for all brands!

anyone who thinks anything that resembles the current demo will be the 'new' bike is out of their mind.
No more stays, that's all I can say for now
Wat? Check out Gee's rampage run from 2010. Also, have you seen him without a shirt on? I am pretty sure you are off on a couple of counts. He may come off as whiny but credit where credit is due.
What if the "custom enduro" we've seen twice is really the new demo. Whoa mannnn lol
To be fair with no extrazstayz (tm) and it's bound to have horst how different can it look from the status from a rear triangle POV.

Obviously some of us get a little more out of the WC season than others.
who? brian lopes? that's the only way i've seen him.
Because they are not available in Online shops, not so easy to find in stationary shops in yurp at least. Also outside of the Athertons, Suding and Mark you don't see many pros using them, their team edits are not that awesome. They simply have a very small presence on the internet. Hell I see more stuff from small companies like Banshee than them.
Spesh bike sell not because they are good (most of them are which helps) but because they have an awesome brand image (that doesn't only mean good bikes but good looking bikes, good copywriting, large web presence, sponsoring proper riders that are often mentioned in bike media, great CS and warranty and being in a ton of shops in every country).
...at least until they go all lawyer-y on smaller companies
