====================
Details:
2003 S-Works frame, Size L with upgraded 2004 rear Fox Brain shock, 80mm travel, with tunable bump threshold (size of bump that opens up the shock into active mode). When the rear shock is not engaged (via the brain), it rides very efficiently and firm like a hardtail bike. It only rides soft when you need it, not bobbing inefficiently when you don't. The fork is a 2004 Rockshox SID world cup w/ lockout knob and 80mm travel. It has a carbon crown and steerer tube. The bike is shown with slicks, but w/ knobbies, it weighs only 23 lbs complete. This was the first full suspension bike to win the world mountain bike xc championships.

Also, an interesting benefit of this bike design is that you can still use two bottle cages in the main triangle, rather than the single bottle that most full suspension bikes force you to use. No Camelbacks needed with this bike!

Frame has some cosmetic scraping and wear on the silver lettering which is painted over the black anodized frame (Specialized M5 tubing). The fork and shock are in perfectly fine working order, and have been serviced by professional mechanic regularly. The bike in its current condition is absolutely race-able. It was replaced with a newer model, not because of any mechanical issue. The bike rides great!

I am willing to sell this bike complete, or as a frame/fork only, or in any parted out combination. I am almost 6'2" tall, with a 33" inseam and long arms. The bike is currently set up for my body, but you can obviously lower the saddle a lot. I also have several other stems and a flat bar, if you would rather swap that out. FYI, there are disc brake tabs on both the frame and fork, so you could easily swap out for a disc brake system.
