Mar 20, 2022Specialized Demo 27.5
$2200 USDI was the original owner, purchased December, 2015. This bike has been ridden downhill, a lot. I was never a downhill racer, just an enthusiast who would ride 20ish days per year, some more some less. I will post pictures to demonstrate the scuffs it has sustained over the years. There are two dents on the downtube. My last ride on it I smashed the derailleur and derailleur cable housing. I did not fix it. That said, this is a serviceable downhill bike that has years of fun left in it for someone, and it does come with some nice upgraded parts. The suspension was always serviced annually and the bearings replaced multiple times as well. It is due for another round of service, but I did not want to pay for that as I am buying a new downhill bike.
Bike does not include pedals or a seat. Following link is how the bike came new: https://www.specialized.com/us/en/demo-8-i/p/65233?color=187077-65233&searchText=94515-5103
Please send any questions. Buyer pays shipping.
Thank you,
Will

@nickmalysh: Only bought Fox 38 over 36 b/c 170mm is not available in 36. I'd rather save half a pound instead of gaining 'stiffness' that I bet the 36 has plenty of.

Pinkbike Poll: Is It Ever OK to Pressure Wash Your Bike?
Bike on the rack at highway speeds when it's raining .... always figured this is equivalent to a (insert drive time) power wash on the bike and makes me cringe every time.
