2009 Race Machine

After a brief testing of the 29'er waters, I am going back to the tried and true for 2009. I liked the 29'er as a bike, it was and is fun to ride and well suited to certain trails. However, I can only have one geared mountain bike at a time, so for a do it all race machine, I will be rolling the newly redesigned Epic Expert, thanks to some generous support from Specialized. A few key component changes and some aesthetic darkening and this mother will be ready to shred some serious trail. Full report to follow...
