1999 *Collector DREAM* Specialized FSR DH Shaun Palmer

Uber RARE - SPECIALIZED FSR TEAM DH 1999-2000 - S Works, white, size medium

**Reserved by Jesse July 26th**

This is the real deal, Specialized introduced the first World Cup ready DH bike as a frameset in the Fall of 1999 as a model year 2000. This is the exact S-work factory riders were riding. Names like Shaun Palmer and Kirt Voreis should ring a bell.. For an older bike, this steed looks gorgeous, collector shape. Adjustable geometry through the shock link position. Frame, bearings, suspensions, all components are in excellent condition, hasn't been ridden since 2003. Bike has been professionally tuned up yesterday and is ready for action. Not sure if you were actually planning to ride it ;-)

Bike has been featured in 2016 as a legendary steed in dirtmountainbike.com, 'SEVEN ICONIC DOWNHILL MOUNTAIN BIKES' : downhill mountain biking has been littered with legends – Palmer, Vouilloz, Peat – but what about the bikes they rode? Can they be considered iconic too? We think so and here are seven of the most iconic, race winning bikes from the history of downhill mountain biking (...) Iconic bikes seemed to follow Palmer around. As soon as he left Intense he joined Specialized on their FSR DH bike. It may seem at odds with his persona but Palmer was apparently very involved with developing the bike down to the geometry and types of bushings used. His influence on the bike was so strong that it became known as the Palmer DH and it saw him through to the sudden end of his (mountain bike) career.
