only the top end gamblers are good and their over priced

I would not say that,Note all gamblers share the shame frame and they have the same travel adjustment to from 190mm to 230mm travel.You can basicly turn the FR20 and FR10 to a well exellent DH race bike and the DH20 and DH10 to a great FR bike.Both 4 bikes share also the adjustable Headtube.
exactly, if you can afford a bike that price custom build it with better components

guy's don't recommend any frames that are super expensive for him.He wants a Complete bike and no frame and wants to spend not more as 3500 euro.The stab or Aline is best for the moneyl.But have you bougth a Demo or not?

no the Demo 8 1 here is 3400, it really is a good choise, since the prices for Specializeds here in Germany, for 08, have drop down a lot from 07...they are even cheaper then US

i have to agree with you in that one, but, since the performance is the better, or at least the same in the new one, i dont really care, they still Demons!!

The new model Demo's are far superior. I've ridden both for a season now, and the new design is much more DH friendly. I agree it doesn't look like quite the beast it used to be, but they sure look a lot sexier now. Trust me, the new Demo's ( o7&o8 ) are a lot more stable at high speeds and in the rough stuff. Specialized has finally designed a real DH frame. Fab

Why don't you just look up the 2007 bikes, CRC have loads in stock. Loads of other WEBSITES will have them at a low price. Shops dont seem to drop the price as much though.

the problem is that here in germany they dont keep DH/FR bikes in stock that much, they are all sold only if you ask for one at the dealer, so there arent so many....have you guys ever seen the KTMs?....very good price here in GR for the components, check it out

^ This, is what i mean by low prices on CRC.

They ship all over europe so I dont see the problem. Also do finance options.
