Got bored with the old colour ...
so i resprayed it myself with some TLC and quality PU paint.

I also removed the FD cable tabs under the downtube.

This time i like it plain white - but i might put some graphics later...
( ideas are welcomed, so please advice guys )

ok thats the nicest bike ive seen in farkin for the last year(arguably all time). Very impressive.for cranks spider is that custom ano or are you using crankskins?

oh! how do the saint calipers go with older levers, i cant stand servo.

i'd say some gold bars to finish it off nicely but i cant spam offically yet

 

[Joy]

Stunning....

thanks mate, thanks..

the spider is painted, after it was slightly lightened (removed granny gear tabs)

the levers + calipers combo works well, modulate like the old ones but with more power, comfortable for one finger (straitline helps) long ride down home.

gold bars? i'll consider it ...

Firstly, your bike is a dream and the photos just make it look that much better.
Also where can I get my hands on one of those proper mudguards for the front wheel. Looked everywhere

 

[Staunch]

That is fucking awesome! Hot as....*drool*
Favourite demo ever, maybe even favourite bike ever. You are one very lucky man. I absolutly love it

 

[who...?]

Im not the biggest fan of the demos but i must say that is one nice lookin bike you have there and as said above i think some gold handle bars would look awsome but not to gold maybe the same colour as your stations.

 

[Lorday]

Don't go gold bars, it will make the linkage stand out even more. That won't be good. Leave as is. We cool? Good.

 

[andrew_o]

I want to see this beast after a shuttle

[sockman]

Jesus frigging Christ!!!!
You have eloquent taste!

 

[Ryan H]

That is easily the best lookin' bike i have ever seen.
I think adding more graphics would wreck it though.
Less is more

 

[Nick53]

That's probably one of the nicest downhill bikes I've ever seen. So light as well...so much for Demo's being huck bikes.

With the rims did you get 823's, paint them yellow and put Deemax stickers on them? Also can you feel a difference in the Hope rotors compared to stock Saint ones or is it just that they looks something special?

Once again sick bike
