My new(er) and improved (upon) baby: the ETSX

Having pimped out Brigitte's ride with some of the components off of my baby, I was left needing more...XTR.  Good thing I had some 2009 XTR 970 components lying around...as well as some XT/Mavic Tubeless wheels and 8" rotors.  And what do you get when you throw them on a customized ETSX?  See for yourself ...

The Epic is History, literally ...

Yesterday I acquired a Specialized Epic.  Today, the Epic has already changed hands.  I had it for less than 24-hours.  I swapped out the wheels, the brakes, the bottom bracket and the front fork.
