what are the real numbers for the 2010 demo? I friend off mine claims he knows sam hill rides his bike at a 62º head angle... I doubt specialized would sell a bike with that geometry... at least not till 2013 or so (since during time bikes just seem to get slacker and slacker)

I know, but everyone says its with the "sam hill" geometry which I find hard to believe, unless he runs a stock with some head angled cups to get it even slacker

glad to see they dropped the dual-crown fork on the Enduro. It might become a valid contender to replace my old Enduro now... still I'm not quite taken by the new looks.

The new Enduro S Works carbon is SICK. Jacy was building up Brendan's with a hammerschmidt at Bromont last week.

The new Demo does not have the 150mm rear end like the team bikes, fyi.

Does the new Demo at least have a thru axle? I saw one of the new ones at N* in the old paint job, but I couldn't tell if it had the thru.

It is sexy, but I'm a bit annoyed they went with that proprietary shock mount like on the SX. Good time to get a deal on the 08/09...

Does it still have a off center rear wheel. I thought the old one did.

New Demo is still 135, so still offset rear wheel.

BB is super low, pretty sure i measured it as 13.75" with 2.3" chunders.

Frame only IS usually available from Specialized, but i'd expect pricing in the $2000-2500 range.

Personally i can't wait.
