I had a purple anodized Demo 7 that was a design sample and came directly from Specialized. It was a size medium and too small for me by any standard, but I loved it! Such a great handling bike by every measure. It ended up in Dan Gronross' hands and to my knowledge the frame hangs in his home. I even found a photo of her dirty. I wouldn't say I regret selling her, but I miss her. As well as my 26" Enduro S-Works that I built with solid components to 26.5 lbs. You can just barely make out my first ever bike in the background of this shot, behind my Rocky road bike (no regrets). It has solid tires and was a fixie before they were cool and seemed to have been stuck together by a plumber, but it is literally the first bike I ever pedalled. I use the present tense because I still have that one!
