Thank you! I'm not alone then:p
i like the new paint job it's very unique, but the old frame seems to be more beefier for some reason

i kinda dig the paint. then again, i ride a kona... known for their fugly paint jobs.
I'd ride one. Screw the paint job, my bikes are usually dirty anyway.

I agree- it looks like a pimp would ride one. :))
Of course, if they make the rest of pimp accessories, it'd be sweet. I could see a gold helmet shaped like a wide brim hat with a purple or pink feather sticking out of it. A long gold trench coat that will have a jersey like material so that it will wick away the persperation and will have an integrated water blatter. Not to mention all the useful storage pockets for tubes, switch blades, guns and the like.;)

I would totally hit it, without a doubt. It looks like most of my clothes, well only the 8's and the 7II, the others I could do without, and the frame does look kinda funny.

Don't like it.
Of all the new Specialized, the only one I like is the Berrecloth signature SX Trail frame!

Thats what I was saying also when I was looking at them
I love the new enduros and FSR stumpys.

Yeah, but it was only for 10 mins.
I love the new paint jobs, I am not sure why. I guess it is just sorta catchy. I'm not sure if I like the new curvy frame design. Is it benificial at all?

how bout berrecloth's sx
DylanTremblay
09-28-06, 04:17 PM
Berrecloth's old SXT was soooo much nicer! I hate his new one its fugly! I'd still ride it however ;)
SO is pink going to become the new purple and in 10 years from now we'll be thinking "wtf were we thinking?"
Blazinall91
09-28-06, 06:12 PM
Berrecloth's blue SX was so awesome
I think specialized is one of the only "cookie cutter" companys that are actually being original.. Sure some of it isnt the greatest.. but at least its different. Change is good.

I think my local Specialized dealer will be very happy that he got Felt and Bianchi in the shop now that Specialized has chosen to make such "lovely" colors. I think they're kinda cool. But I can see where others will look at them and feel that they've entered a thrift shop as opposed to an LBS.
The day I let colour influence my bike choice decisions is the day I become a b*tch! :p
The Demo is on my short list of new bikes for next year.

Progression is good. Change to simply change...is about as exciting a football in a tootoo.

The new Enduro SL and the Demo 7 both show progression in design IMO.
The SX Trail is already perfect, so there's no need to change anything there but paintjob. :D

pink was hot about 20 years ago in bmx...

Heh i don't go back that far, only as far as the purple days. But you just dated yourself old man :p
Whats old is new again, and around we go.
But you just dated yourself old man :p
Yeah, I started racing bmx in '83.. but chrome was cool at that time.

You'd think Specialized would throw in a pair of matching socks...don't like it myself; reminds me of Austin Powers for some reason.
