Nice Chris! I'm jealous of the carbon triangle. My swingarm doesn't quite cut it :lol:

But yours looks nicer. I don't love the graphic design of the carbon as much as the white aluminum. NOt that I'd throw the carbon frame outta' bed….

One would think. I also think if I had 2 specialized bikes at the same time people would think I was some sort of fan boy.

I really was hoping for the gambler 20 as it would match the enduro really well

are you transferring parts Bryan? what will happen to the demo? Vic? possibly interested. top tube length is fine on my 951. I find the CS too long. think I need something quicker to make up for my slowness

As you can see 2 posts below yours, the Demo is played….lol(j/k)

I wanted something a little different and I got a great opportunity to get one of these.

Plus, carbon is pretty pricey

I'll be selling the whole bike, but keeping a few parts for my new build.

Don't think the old boy would be interested in this bike.

10-4 just looking for something that fits better. not even sure I'll get something. I kind of made some little changes that made it feel a lot better at the end of the year. I keep looking at the devinci's and demo's. good SO and short chainstays. devinci might be the best. their med runs a bit small and still lots of SO. that carbon one looks sweet in here. scott looks plenty fun as well. might check with a buddy and get the cheap devinci and swap the parts like yourself

the part swapping has done me well in the past and I hope it does this time around too.

I took one of those out for a test ride during Crankworx. Thing rode beautifully.
