2011 Specialized Demo 8 Custom Raw

This is a 2011 Specialized Demo 8 custom build and paint stripped.

The original paint (white and red) was starting to fade pretty badly, which is why I decided to strip it off. I had planned on painting it, but decided I liked the raw look. When I stripped the paint late last year, I replaced all the frame bearings, bottom bracket, chainring, cassette and chain. Shock was serviced not long before by suspension experts and I rebuilt the fork. Everything is in great condition, except the rear rim, which still holds a tire fine, but will need to be replaced fairly soon and a couple of smaller dents on the downtube.

Main highlights of the build are:
-Industry Nine Enduro Wheels
-Cane Creek Double Barrel #400 steel spring
-Rockshox Boxxer WC
-Truvativ Direct mount stem 60mm
-Full length truvativ BooBars
-Avid Code 7 brakes 203mm rotors
-Sram X0 shifter
-Sram X9 rear derailuer
-FSA gravity crakset
-Cane Creek headset
-Pedals Shimano SPD platform
-Specialized Butcher tires 2.3 rear and 2.5 front
-Thomson seat post.

I had planned on doing a lot of races this year (which is why I put all the work and money into it last year), but have been unable to ride the bike at all this year. I am tired of just having it sit there and would rather see it put to use. Please feel free to PM me with any questions that you have.
