Withdrawn Specialized full suspension with BRAIN shock

[Magpiegifts]

Over the years I've had a few decent Specialized bikes and a couple stand out that had the rear Brain technology, so I'm hoping someone will offer me something smart & really pleasing on the eye . I've had bit of a clearout recently so time to buy something different.

What have you got guys & gals?

Hi,
are you after a bike or frame only? If frame only, what do you think about this:

Size M. Custom airbrush, custom head badge.
Bike disassembled in 2008, the frame has not been ridden since that, hanging on a wall.....

Specialized bikes with the Horst link four bar suspension are quite nice, but the 'Brain Fade' Fox Shocks are a bit of a pain when it comes to reliability and serviceability.

I've got a 2002 (I think) stumpjumper fsr with a propedal shock hanging up in the garage (it's got a variable travel/angle betd link on it too).
It's not an epic (I had one if those too) but will lock out the pedal bob similar to what the epic set out to do but shock servicing and support would be better.

IMHO the '02 to '04 Enduro and the '04 to '06 Stumpjumper are some of the prettiest bikes Specialized have offered, but you know what they say; beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
