Firstly I am a Specialized Fan... Own one... Have said this before, and I am sure will get tuned again like before.. but no amount of R&D can justify that kind of a price... Even the top spec frames are all molded in the far east, and might be finished/assembled somewhere fancy... But you take an entry level car, with more engineering, manufacturing, materials, labor, larger shipping distribution costs, etc than an Epic and comes in cheaper or the same price as an Epic..... Something is not adding up... Only reason I would go Epic Carbon Expert is for the Brain in both back and front, otherwise the Carbon Comp would be plenty fine.. Rest of the components you can change out to your preference and latest spec as desired..
