ahaha clever dexter

 I wonder if Specialized has upped the licensing costs for Norco on the FSR suspensions maybe? Not gonna worry, won't be ordering one for 2012 anyways.

 are you just going to use your current team dh or are you just not going to ride dh next season ?

 I'll still be riding/racing DH next year, I have a '11 Demo 8 frame on order and gonna do a custom build. I'm keeping my tdh as well as putting my spare Boxxer Team back on the '09 Shore 3. I have a few kids that ride with me that would like to try DH and maybe even racing, so I'll have 2 spare bikes that they can use to see if they would enjoy it b4 they throw the cash to buy their own.

 What did you expect Every company to come up with crazy ass designs and new suspension systems every new season? I know it gets old but reality is that there are only a handfull of frame designs that work and that's what conpanies turn to before they can make something themselves

 after more than 20 years i think the business is so saturated it will be hard to come up with something new i think we need to come back to the basic and start over anew

 how is that a kona or a session copy, its not even the same suspension design, just because a bike has a rear shock in a vertical postion doesn't make it the same to any other bike?

 dude, i have one in my garage, its not a floating rear shock...

 where the hell did i read it had a floating shock... oh well, my bad

 hahahahahaha nick!

 its nothing like the kona operator nor the session, because all three bikes have different suspension leverage ratios, they honestly don't even look that much alike, go take a look on their sites. the only similarities would be the fork bumpers like trek session 88 and the tapered headtube like the kona operator, and maybe the headangle, but alot of DH bikes have same headangles.

 seat collar you mean? haha

 well if you read the description you would know..
