    Looking to try a new frame and have been really wanting a Demo. Does anyone have one I can borrow for a day? Bro-rules apply of course (I break, I buy). I am currently riding a medium 2011 Session 8 and really love it but I have been having eyes for the Demo. So if you have a 2011+ Demo 8 I can borrow, I would be much appreciative. Of course I will return it clean and strapped with your beer of choice.

    They had a number of brands last year. Not sure if they had Specialized though.

    Whenever you're ready to buy, my friend is selling one for $3000. Rebuilt and ready to ride. Red demo w/white marzzochi 888 fork, Cane Creek Double Barrel shock. Tried attaching pics but too large of a file. PM me a number or email and ill get picks of the demo to you.

    Yeah, those 3. I rented a bike for my bud. The KHS were cheaper. They felt like they were around 65 lbs :) The Sessions and 951s about 30% more to rent.

    Well, I just bought one. Been wanting one since they first came out in '04 so this has been a 10 year wait. Lol. If I don't like it, I'll just sell it. Costly trial period but whatever. I think ill like it though.

    Thatta kid! The hell with trying it first - just buy it! Honestly, as long as it fits you, it'll be great. You will adapt to the bike's characteristics. Post pics please... :clap:
