The week before this year’s Karapoti Ian’s Specialized Epic frame developed a crack.  Ian had purchased this 575 frame ready for a long-travel build but with just two days to spare I swapped his Epic’s XTR build kit and Wheelworks wheels onto the new frame.  Ian had never ridden a long travel bike before and he only had one chance to ride the bike prior to race day.  Showing his class he won his age group.
