Anyone know why they dont seem 2b available in the UK?? You can buy them from france,germany etc!!!

Broke my ankle at bringewood a few weeks ago and also fell out with my bike in the process so im going to hang it on the wall and get a new toy, and the new demos look schweeeet

Cheers

    Why are Demo frames so cheap? Saw one advertised at the Specialized concept store for £800 which sounded too good to be true

    The UK importers decided that they did not want any for 2009. So the UK have the SX and the Big Hit.

    If you want a Demo 2009 you will have to buy out side of the UK.

    The demo looks awsome but stick duel crowns on the SX trail and it will take a beating both Matt Hunter and Darren Berrecloth ride with these and Matt hunter has jumped 35f and more (youtube him) on an SX trail so they are more than capable

    but still no demo's for 09 is censored

    We haven't had the full Branston Pickle demo 8 for years, had Demo 7's upto now.

    You never know, with Eyebrows and Fairclough tearing around on Demo's and Bighits now Spesh UK might feel the need to get a bit more hardcore and bring it some Demos for '10.

    They have been saying that they were working with Eyebrows to develop a whole new DH race bike.
