Obsessive searching for vintage mountain bikes and components. Some occasional road bike love too.

Specialized Epic Ultimate

Pretty neat bike. The frame starts with a Merlin titanium frame that was chopped up to make lugs. The lugs were glued to carbon tubes. The bike is circa 1992. This one has all sorts of early 90s bling nonsense - Grafton Speedtrap (death-trap) pedals, Kooka cranks, White Industries ti hubs and an ugly Halston fork.

Early 90's Bling non-sense: I am also guessing it has the Avid 20 tooth granny gear judging by the difference in size chain rings.
