Re:

I had one of those. It absolutely swallowed everything! Remember the rear wheels are dished funny IIRC. Ran mine with Monsters, Boxxers and Shivers - Monsters all the way!!!

Yeah, I was just thinking of the looks I"ll get at the LBS when I take it in to have it dished.

Well, the critical part (seatpost) was scheduled to be delivered today by FedEx. Now they say next Wednesday. FedEx is dead to me.

Re: 2002 Specialized Big Hit DH....AND THE BUILD IS ON!!

Had a 2003 version back in the day with Shivers up front and a Push tuned shock. It was a great bike and probably better than the Demo 9 that replaced it.

Always had a soft spot for these since. Looks like it'll be a good project when done.
