farkin hott, those white crowns just top it off. good job

[dj3]

love it!!!!!!

but i do think that direct mount stem is a bit chunky i would get a smaller style one in white (save some weight as well):D

[will.]

how heavy?

[Bacca]

Looks like a Burgtec to me so I would be leaving it right there.

Hot Demo!!!

[zaccyboy]

Looks excellent I bet she's a bit chubby though. *Weight Wise*
Nice build, did you use most of the parts from your 07 demo 8 on this?

[chu]

Nice as. Loving the pictures.

Looks like the Specialized revolution is beginning:p

Yeah I did mate, can't afford buying new parts after paying for the frame and fork. Not really worried about the weight yet but seems like around 17-18kg may be a bit more. I run tubeless wheelset and tires, Ti spring at the back and XO rd also changed the code levers to juicy 3 :D

Regardless of weight, it looks fuggin rad.

[Dirt king]

Awesome bike, awesome pics and awesome trail. Looks like a lot of fun and to race there would be even better.

Would love to see more photos. ;)

[evan thoumine 2508]

the bike looks great
just not the stem, it looks abit chuncky

[Hazza_stp1]

I normally don't like Demo's but this one is definately and exception. Just change that stem is all I'd do.

[Liam Thomas]

Looks great, action shots look pretty nice as well.

White 40's look pretty sick on the blue-ish frame.

[mossmanguru]

Awesome dude. Nice photo with the white thing in the background. Looks sick!!!

[andrepalmer]

[Kane.]

Holy shit man,
that is one of the best bikes I have ever seen.
Jesus cant even think to what you would get for that when you get for that when you decide to sell that now Sam Hill is on specialized.

[tupper]

Give it a few months, he will have another new frame :p

[DirtRida_94]

[andrepalmer]

[nick_dales]

Very Nice Bike

[Bacca]

Those dark pics on the front page don't seem show it off to its full capacity. You've got to post up a nice pic of it in the sunshine for us :D

[Stevo123]

That is a NICE bike :eek:

[samjam]

awesome pic's....awesome colour choice....awesome bike.

white lowers really set this bike off ..........how noice is the trail you are riding?

[aidensnake]

sorry mate did you stutter, i didnt understand any of that:(:(

nice bike though

[andrepalmer]

It's very flowy and lots of roots and rocks along the way. mostly single track and very tight in some sections. it gets better everytime and now they hosting oakley challenge there this year. It's like one of the biggest race here, we have riders from around the region coming to race. If you compare it to oz may be it's not as techy as what you guys have over there. bare in mind mtb scene is just started down here and the competition is not as big as what you guys have there. I'm glad to say that the sport is growing very fast..... may be next year we can invite one of your pro to race here, like what Malaysia have this weekend. They got Peaty and Gracia to race KL downtown.... Cheers for the comments

[jeebus4545]

[andrepalmer]

Nah mate Jakarta as in capital city of Indonesia it's in island of Jawa. Bali is an island it self.

[andrepalmer]

Not sure how much I spent on it but most of it is from my old demo 7... may be around 6k oz more or less :D

[kyle08]

VERY NICE,

I love though's white crown's they make the bike stand out a lot and i do agree with dj3 you should get a smaller stem :D

I'm quite happy with the integrated stem.... I can get my bar as low as I want and none of the integrated stems here offering the same lowness as the one I got now. I have the E13 direct mount stem but then I have to buy the 09 crown for it and I just can't be bothered at moment. Thanks for the comment though....;)

[andrepalmer]

Some pictures form the race....some of you might already seen in in my pinkbike account....

[Adamski]

I'm thinking people better snap up these 09 Demo 8's. Reckon Specialized will have a new DH bike for Sam in 2010.

Looks nice mate. That track looks really quick too, brakeless quick.

[MTB MAD]

[nitrous to burn]

They have one of these in Supreme cycles now. They look really good in real life and from what i have felt by sitting on it, Riding her would be a dream. Ride her hard, give her all you got, she'll love it.

[Jammo]

My god that has to be one of the nicest bikes ive seen on this site I hope you do well with the new bike in racing pin it. also man i reckon the red hubs look good they break the consistancy which sometimes in my opinion looks really, really good.

[eastern_ryda]

how did ya do that flashy light thing in the background?

[Joy]

I love the red hubs. Keep them! Absolutely stunning bike

[downhill4life]

Fark me that is by far one of the sexiest bikes i have ever seen and by the looks of those action pics you are riding it hard good wrk mate personally i think it would look better with the blue hubs and maybe the black fox 40 lowers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kane.]

Holy Batman's balls!
Your grass is green.

Oh yeah nice bike :rolleyes:

[Flip_Whip]

Really not digging those white crowns (whatever it's called, im talking about what holds the stantions on).

But the rest of it is utter sex!!

I had a 2007 one of these, they ride really nicely!

Enjoy it Andre!

[StInKy LoVeR]

Yeah the crowns need changing/painting. Non the less that is on sick ride.

[andrepalmer]

how did ya do that flashy light thing in the background?
