Hi im looking for a new DH bike for around 1200-1600 and i was offered a devinci. Devinci is not something i considered and i know nothing about them are 8flat8s any good (2007)
https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/672158/

I think the ollie is basically the 8flat8 http://www.freeborn.co.uk/devinci-2010-ollie-1

I have asked hampstead to pop in as he knows better.

That 8-Flat-8 is an 04'. Compared to the new Ollies which are a entry-level, that 8-Flat has replaceable rear dropouts and adjustable travel (7-8.5in). The current Ollie's have shorter travel and the seat stay dropouts are one piece.

Why is he saying it's 2007 then? Devinici havn't actually made one since 2004?

Who knows, as Marquis said to make more money, he may not have bought it new and was told by the original owner. The bike came with a Swinger 4-Way (I believe), and the sticker on the shock is a newer Manitou product (that I know), maybe he based it off that.

That paint spec was only done in 04'. The Wilson and 8-Flat-8 were a flat grey colour and the Ollie was kind of a matte desert camo colour. All the frames had the Free Ride geo.

they made the 8flat8 up to 06 and i know this due to the fact i had a 2006 8flat8. bought it off a pro rider named drew pautler. rode it for 4 years and its a plush bike. a bit heavy compared to the new wilsons but thats just obvious. i just bought a 2011 wilson and gave the 8flat8 to my dad and hes loves it also. the only thing you might have to do if it hasnt been done is switch the linkage bearings which is a 120 dollar thing to do and the bike will feel brand new.
