Just bought this (lightly used) 27.5 frame from a friend and built up with parts I already had. Only stock parts are headset and shock. Spec highlights include: - Cane Creek Helm fork sitting at 160mm - DT E512 rims on XT hubs - cush core in rear - Shimano SLX 12sp drivetrain with XT shifter - PNW Bachelor dropper post - PNW bars, stem & grips right now - Shimano MT500 4 piston brakes on RT86 rotors
Modded the shock today to remove the travel spacer and fitted a bigger volume spacer, feels pretty great on the descents now, super planted and stable. This is a FAST bike!
I'm going to be making a few other changes soon, including bumping fork up to 170mm, Code RSC brakes, likely some new cranks...
Haha, I see the same now. I wanted to sell the bike, as I just moved to Portugal and didn't had time to explore, but I'm not sad it didn't sell. I also want to start exploring this amazing place

Yes there is. Probably a couple of reasons - it's been just about 2 years since the Evo was announced and there is a lot of them available since Specialized sold way more than was anticipated.

Was looking at the pnw bachelor 200mm post...any of you guys have it? I’d much rather slam it
I'm running a 170mm Bachelor. I like it, it's been pretty reliable. It's developed a little bit of play, but to their credit, they were super fast to respond to my email and offered to replace it. I declined as it doesn't bother me that much.
