Specialized Enduro S-Works - bike build in the pipeline

It’s been a busy week for me so no trail reviews I’m afraid (I have one in the pipeline for next week so please bear with me!) but I’ve got some follow on news from my posting earlier in the week in the form of a possible new bike purchase!

I’ve always been interested in trying a full bike build from scratch but never quite taken the plunge. So, with the departure of my Specialized Epic earlier in the week, I decided now’s the time! Hopefully it’ll also give me some interesting antics to pass on here in the hope that others can learn from my inevitable mistakes!

I’ve got my eye on a second hand Specialized Enduro S-Works 2004 frame (the one that looks like some sort of crazy star trek gun) which I’ve read a lot of good things about so hopefully by the weekend I might have it in my possession. Any advice from readers on it would be much appreciated but I think it looks like a great deal at £430 so I reckon I’m going to go for it anyway!

So, thus begins a new thread on Mountain Bikes Apart, the great bike build. Stay tuned for hilarious cock-ups and bad choices abound, it’s gonna be fun!
