Specialized Epic WC Blurple race machine

[gfeldy]

Well as a long time Cannondale guy I kind of felt like I was cheating on my girlfriend but after my first ride I can't imagine going back.

She's just in mock up form in the photo. Tune parts will shortly take over the build. Even the new Tune crank when they become available.
I haven't weighed it yet but I plan to when the build is complete.
Parts list as seen in photo:
2015 Epic (Med.) Blurple
World Cup w/ brain (I have fixed the stroke from the photo)
Roval SL 29 wheels
Enve sweep 700mm bar
XTR race brakes
Sram XX1 Shifter and RD
Next SL crank w/ oval 34t woolftooth
Ashima 160 rotors
Tune cage
Kalloy Uno Stealth Stem 110x-17
Specialized seat post
Specialized full carbon Toupe (90g's)
Fast Trak 2.2 front and 2.0 rear (What I had at the house)
ESI Chunky grips
CB Ti eggbeaters

Nice one ! The paint is changing with the rays of the sun

the ''toupe '' is a chinese knockoff right ?
I had one which broke , and it was super super super stiff , even stiffer than the power s works

I see you ride the power s works with the other pictures , my 2cent you should keep the power , heavier 165 gr , but you'll be more efficient and confortable with it ..

Your build looks familiar, except for the fork

Yeah, I'm running the S Works Power full time. When I raced on Cannondales I used the China Saddle with no problems but the power is much nicer.

She comes in at 20.8lbs. I still have a few more things to do before I start sanding things (joking).

You know the RS1 looks meaner!
