Ugh. Frikken' hideous. At least the Argyle/multicolored themes are decent (at best). This looks like a 12 year old kid's bike with an ugly inconsistent sticker kit. :looney:

Is the bird meant to be a swallow and isn't that a jail(gaol) tat meaning something.Also doesn't the spider web mean something also. I know a black tear means you killed someone.
That looks so lame it's not even funny.

What a bunch of straight edge nerds. A bike shouldn't look all frat boy pretty, let it be edgy and unique. You guys probably put bike company stickers on your bikes so you'll be cool. Awesome. If riding bikes is about fitting in to a standard, I quit right now. Have fun on your cookie cutter, boringly colored pro-imitation bike. Let's hear it for a company that isn't afraid to break the mold on lame, drab-colored, boring bikes that all look the same.

look at the 07 norco paint jobs, those are sick, or graphics like on the X series of Redline bmx bikes, they're unique and not "drab", cookie cutter bikes are gay, but so are hack jobs.

I swear, I could puke on a Demo, clearcoat it, put it on the interweb, and there would still be some Specialized fanboys loving it.

:rolleyes:

It lacks any artistic,rebelious,street cred quality whatsoever,it's not unique it's more marketing crap. If you want unique then do it yourself but buying some companies idea of unique and trying to pretend your cool for riding it is just as lame as racer boy stickers. Paint it yourself if you want unique. I just pull all the stickers off and thrash the **** out of it and it gets much more cool unique style than any corprate marketing garbage. Those stickers are so pathetic, it has to be a joke,specialized dudes are laughing their heads off at us right now especially the noobs that like it.

As does any store bought mountain bike when you really get down to it. For a corporate company full of ass hat warranty policies and a huge marketing department, I think it's a good step forward. Wonder where those frames are going to be breaking.

but it's what you'll look like on it, that's questionable.

there's enough pretty boy posers running around with squeaky clean d.h. bikes , that they're afraid to get a scratch on.
without some lace wearin fruitcake showin up on that abomination.

I'm sorry, but that honestly looks like a sixth-generation hand-me-down ridden by a 13 year old that rattle canned his bike for the third time and stuck any sticker he could find on it to make it look better.

White on poopstain brown on black with a touch of red is NOT a good color combination. Not like that at least. Fair enough you want a unique color for your ride, but I WILL laugh at you if you ride a bike with a fairy sticker on it (see shock mount).

The person who buys that tattoo demo is the same one who buys Green Day t-shirts at the Hot Topic store in the mall, and calls themselves a "punk." Credibility = 0.

If Specialized wanted to do tattoo right, they would have hired an actual tattoo artist to come up with something interesting, rather than just the "cut-and-paste-out-of-the-flash-book" look that they're going with.
