Put about 5 hours on the Demo now - I am absolutely thrilled.  This bike rips in every aspect. Although I have been pad-less and not going full on, I am definitely riding sections of drummer faster than I ever have in my life.  Specifically parts of double drop (the drops) and definitely the rock gardens in threader.  *The bike seems to float and hold speed amazingly.*  Lost control with some of this new found speed at the end of the main threader rock garden and hit a tree head on bending either my bars or stem.  Re-egged my knee.
I have noticed that due to the past few months of traveling my stamina and fitness are certainly not where I would like but I am still incredibly antsy and excited fir the race season to start. Sam put it well, riding these bikes is comparable to an addictive drug.  I feel 2011 will be a big year for the members of Drummer, excited to see some pretty big improvements in times and race performance.
