🚴‍♂️ Up for Sale:
 
A stunning 56cm Specialized Epic Comp Road Frameset — a true piece of early '90s cycling history. Handmade in the USA, this frame features Specialized’s innovative aluminum lug + carbon tube construction, offering a ride that’s light, fast, and smooth. The Direct Drive aluminum fork keeps things sharp and responsive up front, while the frame's clean lines and craftsmanship make it a standout for any vintage build.
 
This frame is in like new condition, with only a few marks from storage (see photos). It has never been built up, so it’s about as close to NOS (new old stock) as you can get without the box. Professionally cleaned, inspected, and ready to build.

With a 550mm top tube and 560mm seat tube, this frame is ideal for riders approximately 5'9" to 6'0" in height. The geometry supports a balanced, efficient position—perfect for club rides, vintage race events, or even a classy commuter conversion.
