Hi all,
has anyone ever come across a listing for specialized frames? I am considering to build up an S-Works mountainbike but have not come across any listings for the Stumpjumper FSR. All I know is that this years frame is 200g heavier than the 2015 one due to the SWAT door.

Best,
Greg

Is that with lead in the SWAT box? Because I cannot see how that compartment alone can add 200 grams.

I can if you add in the extra material to make up the strength lost through making a hole in what is otherwise just about the most efficient load bearing shape you can get (a tube).

What do you think the weight of the 17' S-Works enduro frame will be? Was the Demo frame lighter than the previous one?
I can't post the images because of newbe status here, but you can see it goo.gl/RJWnFG

I have a related question. How come some S-Works Stumpjumpers have an aluminum rear end and some have carbon? Does it have to do with different model years?
