Jul 3, 2014Specialized Demo (M)
$1650 GBPHi all,
Selling my 2011 Specialized Demo due to getting a new job and not having the time to ride 1 bike let alone 3! The bike is in incredible condition as I’ve used it nowhere as much as I’d like to: probably 20-30 times due to there being no riding around my uni and me always being away over summer. It’s never been raced and has done about 5 uplift days. The only damage is cosmetic from rubbing on the metal part of my bike rack causing a scratch which has been photographed.
The Spec is below, the only changes being renthal 780mm bars, ODI ruffian grips and a stock wheel which was given to me when I tacoed the DT swiss one it came with the first time I used it. Oh I nearly forgot, I broke the X0 rear derailleur so it's now an X9 instead.
The frame is a medium but comes up pretty big. I’m 6ft1 and I wouldn’t change the size. It’d probably suit someone from 5ft9-6ft2.
Any questions let me know. Pick-up only but I’m willing to drive up to an hour from Bristol.

Oct 25, 2013Medium Norco Team DH
$1250 GBPSelling a 2011 Medium Norco Team DH race bike. Bought 2 years ago from a previous seller who had only ridden it for one week holiday in Morzine. It has since been ridden no more than 10 times since, mainly due to my brother not riding at uni and doing windsurf seasons every summer so I'm selling due to lack of use. Consequently it is in very good condition with only very minor cosmetic scratches with all parts running very very smoothly: looks brand new from a few metres away. The rear derailleur and cassett are custom red!! will not be found on an ordinary norco team dh. When I bought this bike it was off a man who worked for sram and happened to know the guy who builds ben reids bikes (norco team rider), and that man is the same man who built this beauty!!
The only damage is an untrue rear rim which is currently rideable but will eventually need fixing. The frame has 8-9 Inches adjustable travel, heli-taped on bottom with sleeve to stop chain slap. This is an excellent DH bike suitable to anything from playing about in local woods to full DH racing. The bike is exceptionally light and well specced, and rides extremely well.
In terms of sizing it would probably fit anyone from 5ft9 - 6ft2 (my brother is 6ft 1 but prefers slightly smaller frames).
I am willing to drive to meet within an hour of Bristol but unfortunately will not do shipping as I'd prefer it if people rode the bike first before purchasing.
Best way is to contact me is by text if you have any questions.

Video: In Depth with United Ride
I think the coverage has a lot to do with the hard work of cous cous the manager getting the team out there and in the spotlight, massive props to him for doing that and riding as well. Such a sick video though, just got about 5 VOD's for the price of one!
