Nice build: This year, we built the s-works Epic HT for MTB road training = 7.3lbs similar build, main exceptions: carbon brands / XX1 11spd (lighter stronger, who uses the 50T gear anyway?) / quarqs powermeter / fox stepcast 32 (to keep the fork feel in cornering) / rear tire Vittoria Terreno Zero. It makes the EPIC FS race seem positively heavy. We just need a race season in california.

I'd have gone for a black fork, the frame itself is already such a sparkling colour and in my opinion the fork kind of steals its thunder.

Excellent. Thinking about getting one, 2021 model, probably one down from the Sworks (so same frame as 2020 sworks). It’s the threaded bb that tips it in favour vs the competition

Ronald Kuba I’d propose that with a comparable seatpost, saddle and wheelset one could easily offset the weight of the powermeter and probably still come out under this Epic’s pricepoint. As for the frame weight I’ll take your word for it, brand marketing should seldom be trusted to make accurate claims. Anyway, fantastic bike and build.

I’m searching for a 17”-20”, 1995-2001 Stumpjumper M2 or an S-works frame if anyone has one or a lead on one please let me know. My rockhopper frame just started to get hairline cracks so unfortunately need to replace it, figured I’d see if I can get lucky and find a stumpy or Sworks. Even if you’re reading this in a few years from now, I’ll always be interested. Just drop a reply comment and I’ll see it in my notifications and get back to you. Thanks! Love the retro MTB community- you all are great!
