No creaks, no clicks, no cracks, no stripped bolts, no surprises. Bearings replaced early last season. Small dent on down tube visible in pictures. It happened on the 3rd ride I took the bike on and has given me no trouble since. Fresh 3M on the downtube/cable rub spots. Mactic tape on the chain stays to kill chain noise. Was updating parts to ride this season but went in a different direction. The cranks are the oldest part on the bike but I have never found a good enough excuse to update them. Bought as a frame only I'm the original owner and have all the original paperwork from the sale. Also included with the bike:

- original Demo manual w/sales docs **http://service.specialized.com/collateral/ownersguide/new/assets/pdf/FSR---2009-Demo-FSR-Manual.pdf
- Heavy spring for 888
- 135 x 10mm QR rear axle / end caps
- 888 Direct mount stem
- PUSH stickers and tuning card
- Misc Demo Accessories
- Formula 203 front adapter (if you ever change the forks)

It rides really well is ready for long days in the bike park. Great bike for a kid, or taller lady, looking to get more serious with the sport. The 2009 Demo was the last year the geometry could be altered by the front shock mount (I've always left it low and slack), also the last year that it was designed to use a front derialleur. The 2009 model also had a bit more travel than its successors, 8.2" compared to 8". When they lowered the bottom bracket in 2010 they set the travel to an even 8" (courtesy of Sam Hill). I weight just under 200 lbs and the TI spring rates work great for me. I will ship at buyers expense (packing and shipping).

Call OK, no texts as I will not get them.
