Specialized Epic M5 Comp Large 2018

Bought this a couple of years ago to ride during a short career break - used it a grand total of once before covid shut down the world and totalled all my plans (and everyone else's). It has sat unridden ever since. sniff

I bought it for £1300 - I'm going to sell it for £1000. Which makes the above one of the most expensive single bike rides I've ever done... It's in exactly the same spec as when bought (except it has a garmin mount that extends back over the stem - a SRAM one I think) and I will sell it with a full bottle of Stans tubeless sealant and a couple of unused inner tubes.

I'll add a few more pics soon.

Based in Hither Green SE13 - collection only.

There are a few signs of use as is expected however nothing more than cosmetic scuffs and a bit of cable rub.

Must... refrain... from.. purchasing... 6th... Bike....

What size is it?

see title ;)

In all seriousness - I'm 6 foot and it's spot on - lots of standover height so could work for someone smaller or larger

Ha, thinking the same. Very reasonable price for a versatile bike. The thinking man’s gravel bike…

Good price. Have a bump. Looks great fun.

£995

One more week on here at this discounted price and then off to the bay

[edit]

(Apologies for those that saw this go back up for sale very briefly - just to be responsible I want to give it a quick mechanical check beforehand as I haven’t had this out of storage in a while - watch this space.)

Yep all good. This is back up for sale at £990.

If postage ever becomes an option I'd be interested. Appreciate its hassle etc though!

Where are you based?

Popped you a DM

Proper bargain for a super competitive xx race bike . Just my thing if I was still racing :)

£985

£980 - going on eBay at the weekend for quite a bit more than this, so if you’re interested let me know by end of week…
