hello guys :D
I present to you my first specialized, a beautiful Epic of 1992, unfortunately it is not a "Ultimate" in titanium and carbon, but it is beautiful all the same!!! :wink:
This bike was using a guy to go on the road, this bike has never been off-road! :lol: the frame has only signs of where it was leaning to go to the shops. :evil: :facepalm:
I have not yet decided how to assemble it completely, I think xtr m900 and rigid fork, the size is a 20 (TT 58.5 cm), perhaps a little big for me, but we'll see at the end.
the color looks black but in the light of the sun becomes dark violet!
here are some photos, enjoy 8)

D*MN! I was thinking of selling mine, but after seeing this again I really think I should hang on to it...

You'll enjoy riding that, it's one of the best riding bikes I have. Any plans on how to build it? XTR? Suntour XC Pro?

the fork is not a Specialized Direct Drive, but a fresh coat of paint columbus "CROMOR OR rinforzata"

the saddle is not definitive! I temporarily alternating a SLR to a SDG red like that of this photo
