2012 Specialized Epic FSR Carbon Comp Time to let my 2012 Specialized Epic Carbon Comp 29er go. I own a bicycle shop and I could ride anything and I choose the Specialized Epic’s because of their low weight and amazing suspension performance. In fact, the only reason I am selling this one is because I just got a new Epic. There are other great bikes out there but few are as good on single track as these. The bike started out as a $4300 Epic Comp Carbon but I have gone through the bike throwing around $1700 in upgrades at the bike including Shimano XTR/XT drivetrain, Magura brakes and upgraded Roval wheelset. The RockShox Reba RLT 29 front fork is bookended by the fantastic auto-lockout Fox FlowControl Mini Brain rear shock which only lets the suspension do its thing when needed so that supple performance is also paired with superb pedaling efficiency. As mentioned, I replaced the original, more mundane SRAM drivetrain with Shimano XTR shifters and rear derailleur (SRAM X7 front derailleur), XT crankset and Magura MTS brakeset. The Roval wheelset is an upgrade from the bikes original entry level DT Swiss hoops. As part of a recent tune-up the tires were replaced with fresh Specialized Fast Track rubber as well as new derailleur cables. The bike is ready to ride! The bikes cosmetic condition is about average for a mountain bike. Some typical scuffs and marks from trail riding. No damage to the frame, just normal scratches and marks such as to the front fork from bushes brushing against it or on the rear quick release from leaning the bike up against walls and such. Mechanical condition is very good with no known needs. From tires, to brakes to handlebar grips to drivetrain, the whole bike is a turn-key and ready to go. The frame size is a Medium which will best fit riders 5′ 5″ – 5′ 9″. The bike does not come with pedals. We offer no international shipping. Don’t ask, the request will be denied. Overseas fraud and high shipping costs prohibits it. If you are overseas and would like to purchase a bike you see simply make sure the bid you are placing is coming from within the U.S. (Ebay blocks foreign bidders on our listings) and that the ship to address is in the 48 continuous United States. I am happy to ship the bike to a friend or family member so long as they are here on domestic soil. Payment expected within 5 days of auction close. If you cannot pay in this period of time please contact us and we’ll work out something convenient for you. We are easy to deal with and want any transaction we are involved in to not only be smooth but also a pleasurable experience. Shipping will be $85 and that includes INSURANCE. Please allow up to 5 business days for the bike to be packed and an additional 4 days for UPS insured delivery. We pack all bikes on Mondays and ship on Tuesdays (weather dependent). That is not to say if you purchase a bike on a Monday from us it will be packed that same day as we may already have a full docket of bikes to pack from prior in the week. Other times, a bike purchased and paid for on a Monday CAN be packed and shipped out the next day… it all depends upon that weeks work load. So please be patient as we do our best to get the bikes out as quickly as possible to their new owners as we know how exciting it is getting one of the beautiful machines. Oh, also, every so often we will get an email with regards to our shipping policies. To clarify these policies and time periods I can tell you the following…. We use BikeFlights as our shipper which currently is reliant on UPS for their shipping needs. We have had good luck with BikeFlights so far but our shipping practices really are the reason we have had so few instances of damage. We hand pack every bike ourselves using industry approved, BICYCLE SPECIFIC boxes. All bikes are packed using proper packing materials including padding of the frame, plastic frame and component supports in place to protect the bike from crushing side loads sometimes experienced during shipping. These include the installation of plastic fork supports to keep the front fork from penetrating the bottom of the box and dérailleur side load supports and axle shields to keep the axle of the wheels from penetrating the side of the box. Also, we insert a SECOND SHIPPING LABEL in every box in case the original label is somehow pulled off the box. This ensures that the bike will make it to it’s destination. Lastly the box is sealed with industrial box staples to keep the load securely enclosed. (These are steps that other sellers on eBay just won’t do.) Oh and if you think the UPS or FedEX shipping insurance covers the bike while under their care, think again! The last thing the shipping company wants to do is pay off on a damaged bicycle claim that costs as much as some used cars. They will deny the claim for the simplest of reasons. That is why we cover all the bases. We take EVERY precaution to make sure this bike is not only packed correctly but is also covered with TRUE insurance. Packing of a bicycle takes a significant block of time if done correctly. Also, we do not ship when it is raining at our location. This is because we have discovered that a wet bike box doesn’t ship as well as a dry one and we cannot control the possibility of the shipping company leaving the package in the rain, if even for a moment. Inclimate weather may lengthen the time to ship out but it is well worth the peace of mind that the bike arrives in one piece, exactly as pictured. This is one thing we can say that few other sellers of pre-owned bicycles can… Our bikes will make it to you as promised, as advertised and in EXACTLY the condition that it left us. Packing a bike is something that takes experience and taking short cuts will only land you in the nightmare of the UPS claims department which can take months to resolve. Better to do it right the first time. All bikes require a signature upon delivery. Bikes are not packed until payment is received so keep in mind that if payment takes a week to receive that means a week delay in the packing of said bike. Local pick-up is always available. Email communications should be sent through eBay’s messaging system itself. Paying with PayPal will expedite shipping. Pedals are not included with bikes unless otherwise noted as I figure anyone looking at this level of equipment already has a favorite pedals system. I love talking bikes. Lastly, If you have zero (0) or negative feedback, I ask that you contact me first before bidding. I reserve the right to cancel bids from such members.
