Nice Epic, that is an early one as it has canti studs.
Test rode them when they first came out, really nice ride and the suspension did what it was ment to (locked on smooth auto open on rough ground)
Nearly bought one.
test rode an Enduro then bought a Stumpjumper FSR instead with the Triad air can :)
So that's about 2004. the fox shock DU bushings of that time would last a few rides then need replacing down the Quantocks. The local shops sent soil samples back to FOX to investigate.
The frames where either spot on (i got a good one) or several mil on the piss causing the shock shaft to wear on the sides on top of eating DU bushes.
