Price:
My cash price is $1350 + shipping (probably $125). This bike’s MSRP is $1800 and the Roval Control wheelset MSRP is $700. So new this setup would cost you over $2500 not including the changes that I’ve made such as the GC and Shadow+ RD. The bike is less than 1 y.o.

Purchased at Chicky and Chippi in Saginaw, MI – July 2013 – authorized Specialized dealer

Weight:
Under 25lbs with/without clipless pedals.

Upgrades include:
[list:kesv999s]1×10 setup with Wolftooth 42t GC and Racefact 32t chainring (I do not have the FD and shifter as those went to my wife’s bike)[/list:u:kesv999s]
[list:kesv999s]Roval Control wheelset setup tubeless with decals removed (I have pictures of the bike with the decals but they were the gold decals and were peeling so they were removed)[/list:u:kesv999s]
[list:kesv999s]Shimano XT Shadow+ medium cage RD[/list:u:kesv999s]
[list:kesv999s]Ergon GP1 black grips size L[/list:u:kesv999s]
[list:kesv999s]Setup tubeless 2 bliss[/list:u:kesv999s]

Wear and tear:
Less than 100mi (as verified by cyclo-computer that comes with bike) on the bike. Normal to minimal wear and tear; almost perfect. Minimal scratches and zero dings. I did have some issues when setting up the GC and there was some rear chaindrop so there are some scratches on the inside of the RD cage. Second thing I want to note, I cracked the bleeder on the front brake and was not able to bleed it correctly however it still works but when hung from front wheel it bleeds down due to air. I will take to the shop next week to have them bleed it and adjust the brakes.

Extras:
Includes Specialized cyclo-computer that shows the mileage, etc.
NIB Specialized 29er tube in case tubeless goes awry on you.
I will include a set of Crank brother’s candy 2’s to sweeten the deal (pun).
