Well having discovered i much prefer riding trails and a bit of everything in general so i have gotten myself a ST dually, well kinda ST.

Anyway, it is a 2005 Specialized Enduro Expert.

Sweetest bike i have ridden in a VERY long time, so solid through the rough stuff, yet nimble through the techy stuff, amazing ride!

Short Spec
2005 Speccy Enduro w/ 5th element Air
FOX Vanilla 36R's
DT Swiss 340 hubs on Camo MTX's

Yeah mate, few things on the shopping list.

Front derailuer works fine for the time being, so it will be close to the end of the list. So chain device comes later. Also coming soon are XT cranks and a bashguard.

Very nice man, the rims seem a little overkill for that bike though.

oh, and on a side note, those camo MTX can make or break a bike, and they look tops on that bike imo.
How much does she weigh?

Yeah, i totally agree shiz, but im lucky that this bike pulled them off:)

They probably are a little over kill, but i will be putting it sideways sometimes, gonna need the rims to bounce back :P

At the moment with dual ply tyres it comes in at 16kg flat. So theres a few things to save weight on.

It has 6" travel rear and 150mm front (imperial and metric:p)

But yeh, both ends are buttery smoothe when it is required, love it:)

Cool, I dont really think they are overkill, and it looks mint.
My old Bullit was 6" Front and rear (Nixons up front) and that came in sub 14.5kg with 2.7 tyres!
How does it ride compared to the titus?
Was the titus 7" Travel?

Yeah thanks :)

Wow,14.5kgs with 2.7 tyres is amazing, my mates trek (with psylo's and single ply tyres) just comes in at 14kgs, so thats a VERY nice accheivement for you.

It rides soooo much better than the titus (yet to compare in a dh run tho) but on everything else, including jumping, this bike kicks arse. FOX also helps :p

Yeh, titus was 7", coil shocked tho.

Nah it came like that, it was an EX test bike, but (according to the last owner) had a very limited test bike life. As u might know, specialized paints their test bikes funky colours so they stick out.
