Selling a very nice 2017 Specialized Epic HT Pro Carbon World Cup 29er with the in GLOSS GALLARDO ORANGE/BLACK. It's a slight spec variation of the original bike, shown here: https://www.specialized.com/us/en/epic-hardtail-pro-carbon-world-cup/p/115326 I built the frameset up with a mix of new parts and some parts that I had on an Epic FSR. Where (new) is indicated, this means NEVER RIDDEN, aside from a 100-yard spin down a paved street to make sure everything worked. After that it's been hanging in the garage, waiting for you to buy it. This is a very nice XC race bike, but you can also get sideways on smooth rolling singletrack at that neighborhood park near your house; the trails don't have many crazy features, but enough berminess to make you smile. This bike will you get you to the top faster than all the others, and if you're on your game, will help you get down almost as quickly. The frame's bright orange color is fading in some areas, but in consistent manner, not splotchy. It's mostly pronounced on the corners of the top tube, from the head tube to the seat tube. It almost looks like a feature, not a bug, sort of like the heat-sensitive paint Specialized used on the Olympic road bikes a few years back (this paint is NOT heat-sensitive).
