V12man Posted October 20, 2015 Share Nice, what bike did u get?Swapped from a Scott Spark to a Spez Epic - Comp frame with Expert build kit - once I had the Brain figured out and set up the way I like it, it has been a very good ride. I did consider a PYGA Stage but really need a Small frame, and they only make mediums... I am EXACTLY on the edge of small/medium specs for the SPAZ - but after about 10 test rides went with a medium, and I am happy. This years epic is so short we are considering asking them if there will be additional fees to let us ride some of the days twice...... :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
