Video: Mongoose Tear Up Halfords
I second all of the above; started out in Halfords back in the mid 90s when LBSs would only pay £2-3 per hour. Halfords paid £5 and gave two of us a real chance to learn a trade. Not many other shops will do that for a 15yr old. Yes they sell some cheap shit, but most of us whose parents couldn't afford expensive bikes started out on cheap shit! I also had a Mongoose (DMC Pro BMX), wish I never sold that!

Jan 10, 2014Specialized Demo 8, , Medium, High Spec+Wheelset, £2400
$2400 GBPSPECIALIZED DEMO 8 II, 2012, Medium, VERY HIGH CUSTOM SPEC + EXTRA WHEELSET and 2 sets of Tyres!!! £2400
For sale is my 2012 Demo 8 II. The bike is only 18 months old and in almost immaculate condition. It has been maintained to the very highest standard (I am a fully qualified former mechanic at Leisure Lakes). The suspension has been custom tuned by J-Tech Suspension Tuning. The bike comes with a wet and dry wheel set up and also a spare set of mud tyres (used once) and a full spike. The bike has been owned by me from new and has all the original docs. See below for full spec.

REAR SHOCK: Cane Creek Double Barrel with Sprungloaded Titanium spring (350lb)
FORK: RockShox Boxxer World Cup, air, custom J-Tech damper/tune
WHEELS: Mavic EX721 on Hope Pro 2 Evo (front), Mavic EX823 UST on Hope Pro 2 (rear)
TYRES: Specialized Hillbilly DH (half spike)
SHIFTERS: SRAM XO DH 10 speed with Braided cable housing
REAR MECH: SRAM XO DH 10 speed
CASSETTE: SRAM 11-28 Custom
CHAIN: SRAM XO
BRAKES: SRAM XO DH Carbon with AVID CODE Custom calipers (203mm front, 180mm rear)

The bike also comes with the following EXTRAS:
WHEELSET: Roval DH on Specialized Custom DT Swiss Hubs (front+rear), because nobody likes changing tyres at a race!
TYRES: 2x Specialized Butcher DH, 2x Schwalbe Muddy Mary (only used once), Spcialized Storm Full Spike (used twice)
TUBES: Giant DH tubes
This is a full pro race set up at an entry level price. The bike is 100% crack and dent free with only very minor cable rub and some very small scratches from uplift and normal use. It is in almost new condition! New this all cost over £6000. I am only selling due to retiring from DH to concentrate on Gravity Enduro. Please no trade offers as I have already bought my next bike. Any questions please ask. £2400 is an absolute bargain!
