Welcome to The Bicycle Outpost. Most of the bicycles we sell can be best described as “Project Bikes” that have one or more of the following issues: carbon frame damage that needs to be repaired, defective and/or worn-out parts, or missing parts. We don’t perform any maintenance or repair work on the bicycles in our inventory. At a minimum, a bicycle purchased from us will need to be professionally assembled and inspected. Most will also need extensive service work. We acquire bikes through a variety of channels, and we don’t know details like mileage, how often they were serviced, or anything else regarding the story behind them, like how damage occurred, etc. DETAILS Frame/Fork: 2018 Specialized Epic Expert FACT 11m Carbon Fork: RockShox SID BRAIN , Travel: 100 mm Rear Shock: RoskShox/ Specialized Micro BRAIN w/ Spike Valve, Travel: 100 mm Handlebar: S-Works FACT Carbon, 720 mm Width Stem: Specialized Alloy, 90 mm Length Seatpost: Specialized Alloy Diameter: 30.9 mm Drivetrain Configuration: 1 x 12 Speed Shifters: SRAM GX Eagle Brakes: SRAM Level TL Front Derailleur: N/A Rear Derailleur: SRAM GX Eagle Cranks: Truvativ Stylo Eagle Alloy, 175 mm Crank Arm Length, 32 Tooth Chainring Cassette: SRAM XG-1275 Eagle, 10-50 Gear Range Wheels: Roval Carbon Tubeless, 29″ Wheel Size Weight: 25 lbs. 8 oz. GEOMETRY (measured by hand, approximate) Size: Large Head Tube Length: 105 mm Top Tube Length (horizontal/effective): 595 mm Head Tube Angle: 69.5° Seat Tube Angle: 74.75° CONDITION We have visually inspected this bicycle with the goal of identifying and describing all issues of significant concern with regard to the need for repair or replacement. This inspection is focused mainly on the structural integrity of the frame, with less effort devoted to inspection of the components (suspension, cockpit, drivetrain, wheels). Please note that while we strive to identify all issues that might be of interest and concern to potential buyers, we might miss something that is either difficult to see or requires disassembly of the frame or components to successfully detect. —– —– —– —– Damage that exceeds the following common conditions is noted below: light scratches and small dings, including small paint chips; minor damage to finish due to cable, heel, and chain rub; and what might be typical for a bike of this type and/or age (e.g. crank arm damage from curb or rock strikes, etc.). Frame -Top tube has small, but structural crack in carbon that will need to be repaired prior to being considered safe to ride (see photos). All areas of carbon damage should be inspected/repaired by a technician that specializes in the repair of carbon fiber bicycles, and until doing so, this bicycle should not be considered safe to ride. It’s at the buyer’s sole discretion, ideally in consultation with a carbon repair expert, as to whether or not any area of damage actually needs to be repaired in order for this bicycle to be considered safe to ride, specifically with respect to the structural integrity of the frame and fork. We recommend Broken Carbon, a Boulder, CO, based repair shop with an extensive background working with carbon composites. Based on the noted carbon damage on this bike, we estimate the cost to complete all repairs to be $400. -Frame has prior carbon repair done on drive-side seat stay Other than areas of carbon damage noted above, frame in good condition. Suspension -Light scratches to fork lowers, mostly to decals. Otherwise, fork and shock are in good condition Front lockout works: NARear lockout works: NA Service history of fork and rear shock is unknown – buyer should assume that service (rebuilding) is possibly needed at this time, and complete replacement of fork and/or rear shock might be necessary. Cockpit (bar/stem/saddle/seatpost) -Light scratching on seatpost and handlebars Otherwise cockpit in good condition. Drivetrain (shifters/brakes/derailleurs/cranks/cassette) -Light scratches on crankset and rear derailleur Otherwise drivetrain in good condition. Wheels -Rear wheel has crack in non drive side – will need to be replaced -Both wheels have moderate scratching -Front wheel has tubeless valve stem -Tubeless rim strips need to be replaced —– —– —– —– With regard to the current state of tune and continued serviceability of the components (cockpit, drivetrain, wheels), potential buyers should assume the following: – We have not checked the torque values of bolts and other fasteners on this bicycle, and it’s certainly possible that some, or even all, of these fasteners are not tightened to the manufacturers’ recommended torque specifications, and, in fact, might actually be loose (e.g. loose enough to cause a component or small part to move unexpectedly or fall off, or otherwise cause a safety hazard and risk of personal injury or death). – We have not checked the condition or adjustment of bearings (headset, derailleur pulley, bottom bracket, hub, freehub, suspension pivot), and some or all might need to be adjusted or replaced. – We have not checked the operation of drivetrain control components (shifters, brakes, derailleurs, suspension/dropper remote levers), and some or all might need to be adjusted. In the case of bikes with hydraulic brakes, the front and/or rear brake systems might need to be bled. – We have not evaluated the condition and remaining service life of drivetrain wear components (chainrings, cassette, chain, brake pads, disc brake rotors, cables/housing), and some or all might need to be replaced. – We have not checked the alignment of the disc brake rotors, and one or both might need to be trued. – We have not checked the alignment of the wheels, and one or both might need to be trued and/or dished. —– —– —– —– This bicycle will be professionally disassembled and packed prior to shipping. Air might be let out of the suspension components in order to get the bicycle to fit into the shipping box. FedEx will require an in-person signature at the time of delivery, so please be sure to use a shipping address that someone will be at during FedEx’s normal delivery hours.
