Crap stealth ad. You need to log in on that site.

Not my ad but that of one of the “Big Hitters” who either deletes or reports anyone with an alternative viewpoint….

C&P of ad below:

First Post:

Reluctantly, due to an ongoing back issue, I’ve realised that I’m not going to be riding this any time soon, if ever, so it’s time to sell up.

It’s a 2010 model, cost around £4500 when new, as it was the top of the range model. It’s the lightest bike I’ve ridden, and used to always attract attention.

Condition is excellent, bar the odd stonechip around the rear wheel.

“With a XC World Championship to its name and complete bike weights as low as 21.5 pounds, the Epic® is the lightest, most efficient and fastest performance cross-country bike available. An integrated approach to the design of all its critical components, along with an enhanced AFR inertia rear shock and Specialized/FOX Shox Mini Brain® damper, will no doubt make a full suspension convert out of any competition- hungry rider.”

I’m looking for £1750, or sensible offers in that region. Collect from Camberley, in Surrey.

I’ll stick a picture up later this evening.

Then later one after several members asked for more details or directed him here, about info/pricing

Anyone interested is welcome to make me an offer.

Edit – The latest Specialized Epic Expert Carbon is £4800 https://www.specialized.com/gb/gb/me…cexpert/128845

26″ wheeled xc bike , I wish him luck

If the conditions nice and you like it £500 maybe
I’d want to see if the rear shock can still be serviced as
Spares for some older epics are no longer available.

Exactly – he locked the thread earlier after calling everyone pr*cks!

Oh go on ..spill the beans ..
Who was it ?
The suspenders are killing me 😆

I wonder if it does come with reflectors.
