There are a lot of cracked Demo frames out there. I don't understand why they are the "world's strongest bike." Then again, all bikes break so...
The faulty demo frames were the 05 ones, Specialized had made the ribcage for the shock too rigid (on tests, the results were great, in practice, they clearly werent) and it did not flex at all, so cracks in the welds developed, strange how many of these cracked demos are still being ridden today, with no hassle, shows how strong they are.

The Screams cracked too. Normally, under the seat stay/bb area. My friend cracked two in the same area.
They were the first generation ones (V1 was it?), and for the 2nd generation (V2) they have had a lot less cracks.
