Specialized P-Slope
$850 CADNEED GONE THIS WEEKEND SO PRICE DROP TO $850
Leaving and not getting a chance to take this with me so selling the slope rig,
-Was running it chainless/brakeless lately but comes with a Shimano XT brake/180mm rotor that needs the line replaced/adaptor as it has a small split in it and a rear 16T singlespeed cog (does not come with cassette pictured, will need chain and spacer kit to complete).
-Chromag bars
-Wolftooth Components 34T DropStop Chainring
-Rear wheel is a Sun MTX on Hope Pro 2 Evo Trials/ss hub. Bike has maybe seen less than 20hrs of riding time, cosmetic scratches etc but mechanically excellent.
-Would want a set of DJ tires back on it for jumps/park but the current half worn DH tire combo works a treat on the flow trails in the bike park.
Any questions please ask,
Thanks!

Pinkbike Poll: Fashion or Function?
@Kamba6: That's the thing though, people aren't being anymore offensive than Arbr is technically being "arrogant" by asking such a ridiculous price for an unknown frame. Who are they to ask such a price for a technically undeveloped/unproven frame, then the public are to say it doesn't look good. How often have you seen a car company put a Koenigsegg or Pagani price tag on something with no proven results or data to back it up? Never, it just doesn't happen because it doesn't work as a long term business model to the public. When you claim to be the best of the best with no proof to back it up and produce something that looks in the general eye "terrible" you are going to be crucified. Paul's salty as hell that the brand paying him didn't get all the love like normal, deal with it. He has no more right to call out the haters then the haters to call out Arbr, Bottom line: when you claim to be the best at something you need to have all bases covered or be prepared to cop all the "opinions" that come associated with it.

Pinkbike Poll: Fashion or Function?
@Extremmist: No I don't think that you as well as the editors understand that there is a third variable which is price for 99% for us. Maybe you're one of the lucky ones that has the money to invest in multiple bikes etc, but if I'm getting one frame/bike then I want it to function awesome and look good because there are many frames out there that have both of these features and at a lower price. If you were designing a bike for such a low percentage of people to like the look of then your business would be struggling or in the ground in this modern world so why bother mass producing instead of making a limited number for you and your friends that share bad taste. By no means am I hating on this frame. I give a tonne of respect to anyone that goes out on a limb and puts the amount of effort into anything whether it's bike related or not, I didn't comment on the original thread for that reason but you have to understand that when you're bringing it to the general public and at a higher price then already brilliant frames you have to be prepared for the potential backlash. When pinkbike writes an article calling the masses out for the hate, that's wrong on their part as much as it is theirs on the original post.
