This time of year is always one of the most exciting (at least for me as a bike geek). . . it's the time of year that we receive most of the new higher end bikes ($2000+) for the year. In the last couple weeks we've received a full line of the 2013 Specialized Epics (minus the S-Works Sram version, which Specialized is waiting on the XX1 group to be released).
Some of the new colors are really cool, but as with everything beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but it's really nice that to some degree they've gone "wild and mild", making some louder (some may think obnoxious) paint schemes and some paint schemes that are subtle (some may think boring). One the louder end of the spectrum there is the Epic Evo R, which someone that really likes how it looks thinks it looks like a hot dog stand, it makes me think more of a Belgian flag,
and the Epic Evo Expert in white, for those that like the white-Euro look.
On the other end of the spectrum it would be hard to find someone that would have a problem with either the Epic Marathon (it's hard to go wrong with black and a little silver)
or the Epic Expert Carbon (all shiny black, except for some hard to notice copper accents. . .which certainly don't fit, but you have to look for them to see them).
We also got in a 2013 S-works Epic XTR, in red. . .which I wasn't a big fan of on line or in the catalogue, but in person looks really good (assuming you like red). Then again for $10,000, it better (well actually not $10,000 . . . $9,999.99, but whose really counting their pennies).
