Who is actually picking these colors. The ideas arent so bad but the execution is horrid.

I think the red one looks trick, maybe over done a little with the pin stripes though
Hell yeah the red ones better. Why aren't companies pumping out stuff like that.

At least the red one gives me hope that they will have standard colors as well.
Specialized seems to be riding the hyped-up marketing train right to the bottom of the profits bin. Everyone of their bikes this year(07) is just horrible. Their design team should be fired yesterday.
Personally I dig the new Tattoo Demo 7.
Yeah, it's totally different from what we're all used to, but give it some time to grow on you. If it still makes you scrunch up your nose, then it's not your thing. Big deal.
I understand what they are doing with the graphics, new designs, and new proprietary parts (in-house dual crown forks, shocks, etc.) so give em' a bit of lee way during this time period.
Besides, if you don't like the new direction, it's not like the stuff coming out for 07' will be their bike lineup until the end of time.

The rest of the specialized line is unbelievable. I just saw the catalog super nice, great colors. I'm not a huge fan of the new demos but I can def. see the growing on me.
as long as it's a demo i'm fine with it
while i can agree that the demo series looks wierd ,the rest of the line up is amazing !
imo , the new enduros look hot ,the old ones always did and the
stumpjumpers ,pseries ,sx ,road bikes ,epic ,hardrock etc ,just look amazing!!!
also ,you got to remember 2 things :
1.not to judge the bikes till you saw'em in person (remember what alot of people said about the V10 ,nomad)
2.stickers can come off !

call me a skeezy hippie but i wanna get my v10 done in tie die and make it look like its right out of the 60's. but ya that tattoo **** looks weird, not bad or good, but it isnt something you see and are just like wow man thats badass. anyone got any ideas on how much something like a tie die paint job would cost? or any pictures of any thats tried it?
peace
peace
the red color one looks pretty good- definitly less stripes
but i think specialized needs to spend more time on the bikes instead of playin around with the colors.
might just be my opinion but i think the specialized colors have gone downhill since the demo 8 that was like tan and had all these ghetto fake scratches.

SKEEZY HIPPIE!
all ugly graphics aside, does anyone know if the only difference between the demo 7 and demo 8 is shock size or are they 2 completely different frames? Also what about availability and pricing?

i'd have to say he makes the best point, i didnt mind the frame until i thought if it that way. if you were the only person to own this paintjob, and had done it urself, i think it would be more acceptable, but if this frame hits the streets, then emo kids left and right will have one, and it will loose it's "uniqueness" that i thought it had.no skid marks said:
good point
Well the 7 has steeper angles and a 1.5" HT.quickneonrt said:
One really cool thing about the 8 according to our dealer book is it comes with a special shuttle for use with a DHX Air, that gives the frame 7" of travel and corrected geo for a 7" fork.
I saw that, nice option. I just wish they would have given both bikes the 1.5 HT. :mumble:Bicyclist said:
'tard, it is a corporate mass produced bike. It is as cookie cutter as it gets, put your psuedo punk loaded Ipod on and go feel good about yourself.
Specialized, please keep the 15yrd old hot topic kids away from the Demo's. Wish they made the d8 in that light blue like the sx
