Vintage Specialized Epic - Early 90s Classic, 56 cm

This Specialized Epic is a stunning example of the "Carbon Dawn" era. Far removed from modern monocoque frames, this Epic utilizes Specialized Direct Drive Carbon Fiber tubing bonded to elegant aluminum lugs, offering a unique ride quality that blends the stiffness of carbon with the classic, dampened feel of traditional geometry. The deep burgundy finish paired with the exposed carbon weave gives the bike a sophisticated, timeless aesthetic. The technical build is centered around a complete Shimano RX100 groupset. This reliable 2x7 speed drivetrain features a racing-standard 53/39T chainring setup, perfect for maintaining high speeds on flat sectors and rolling hills. Crucially, it is equipped with integrated STI shifters, allowing the rider to shift and brake from the hoods—a revolutionary technology at the time of its release. For the rider prioritizing comfort, the Selle Anatomica leather saddle is a standout feature. Its signature cutout and flexible leather surface are designed to provide an "out-of-the-box" broken-in feel for ultra-endurance riding. Rolling on classic Mavic rims and period-correct Specialized Transition skinwall tires, this Epic is as much a collector's item as it is a road-ready machine.
