A bad photo of my nearly stock Enduro Comp. So far only mods are tubeless conversion, 50mm Straitline Vertical Wedge stem and NS Bikes Aerial pedals. The Wedge is not in the pic though. Next changes will probably be some 750-780mm bar and XO shifters.
Nice bikes posted already, I quite like the colour scheme on them :thumbsup:

//Oh and no worries, reflectors are gone now, left them on so people would actually see me at the pitch dark winter days.

Here are a couple of fairly boring pics of my XL Enduro Comp that I am totally in love with.





Mods are very limited as I am very happy with the bike as it is at the moment:

# Tubeless conversion
# Command post
# Carbon fibre rock guard on frame downtube
# Sam Hill autograph on top tube

Those black/red bikes look pretty horn.

It took a little looking, but I found the other Enduro thread where I posted mine before: Here.

But hey, I love my ENDURO! I don't mind posting it again. :D I took my camera with me today and got some new pictures of it.

It is basically a stock 2012 Evo in XL.

I switched to a Riva seat. The Henge put things to sleep that should NEVER go to sleep.
Switched to an Answer Pro Taper 780mm width bar. The stock Specialized bar bend was all wrong for me and I like wide bars (not many trees in the desert!). I don't like how low the rise is on the Answer and am thinking of trying a Chromag OSX next.
And I added a Rock Guardz CF guard and the Straitline DeFacto pedals - which are wider and better for my gigantic feet than the AMP, but still could be wider.



And because everybody else is showing off the guard!

I know that everyone who owns an Enduro knows how versatile they are. On a ride last weekend I went with a mate on a Merida Matts hardtail to ride some downhill and XC trails. After riding the downhill sections, I put the GoPro on my chest and videoed a cross country trail. Dave and I are pretty closely matched in fitness and ability, so it goes to show how good the Enduro can be on flatter trails. Here is a link to the video on Youtube if anyone is interested in watching.

finally here are some recent pics of my '12 enduro comp

upgrade list includes:
command post black lite, swapped clamp bodies with a friend for the grip clamp style and kept my red lever.

anno red stem spacers
anno red grip lock on clamp.
anno red North Shore Billet 203mm post mount adapters front and rear
203mm shimano IceTech rotors front and rear.
Crank Brothers Mallet 3 pedals
wheels setup tubeless with gorilla tape
Schwable Hans Dampf tires front and rear.
Dual Position air spring, Mission Control DH, Dual Flow Rebound upgrads from bare bones Lyrik R

new wheels will be coming soon, they are much needed with the crappy rear freehub, i would also like to run a push's monarch plus, formula the one brakes, and when the drivetrain needs replacing it will get XO components, but as long as they work properly the x9/x7 will stay.







here is was right after i built it up in the shop

and right after its maiden voyage

How much do you weigh? I was thinking about going to the heavier spring too, but didn't want to take away too much of the "plushness". I'm about 185lbs...
