That looks like a really good deal. With XTR pretty much everything except shifters i would say go for it. I looked on the specialized website and the components on the 05 enduro comp were not as good as the one you listed here. As a matter of fact, those are the components for the 05 S-Works Enduro which is probably gunna run you about $5000. But if the bike was upgraded in the store or something (which i doubt) and they want to sell you it for $18-- thats amazing, just dont thing thats what your getting stock.

I would still say thats a good deal.
What do you want to upgrade on it that brings it to $3,200.

Hmm... You can get an '06 Expert for $3500, which would give you the new frame, more suspension travel and better brakes. It depends on what you want I guess, but for the same price point, it seems like a no-brainer to me.

Yeh, Thats what I was looking at. The 06 has the new frame, price is pretty much the same with upgrades. Monocoque FSR frame was supossed to be good though.

I have a season on both an 04 monocoque as well as the new 05 frame. They're both great, performance wise.
The extra coin for the 05+ gets you a lower shock ratio and ISCG mount, both of which are nice.
