My Demo progress thread (Bike)
Hey just thought i would make a thread to kick off my specialized demo 8 build,
So it was time for a new project bike, and this beast took my fancie
And with its price tag at £2400 and crap spec for my liking i decided to look for a frame set on ebay
So after around 3 months of looking for a demo frame and £500 lighter i came up with this beast
i was getting pretty sick of seing this frame sitting in my room so i decided to get some forks and brakes sorted out

Forks
So i dug my marzocchi monster ts from the back of the garage in a bit of a state and decided sunday night to spray them
mo they looked quite good so time to crack on with some more parts, i had searched around for a decent set of brakes when i came across these
Hope front and rear 6 pot! hydraulic adjustable brakes with 8 inch disc rotors, i thought great! and saw the price tag to match £400! so i looked around and found a brand new set for £360 so i was happy!
