I Turned a Specialized Epic WC into a Drop Bar MTB...

Drop bar MTB? Yep, you read that right. In this video, I take a Specialized Epic WC Expert and build it up with SRAM Apex drop bar shifters to create a one-of-a-kind drop bar mountain bike. This setup was inspired by the riders at the Leadville 100 MTB race, where drop bar MTBs have been making appearances for epic endurance events. I’ll walk you through the full build, why I chose the Epic WC as the base, and how it rides compared to a standard MTB or gravel bike. If you’re into bike builds, gravel racing, or just love seeing weird but awesome bike experiments – this one’s for you. 🔧 Build Specs: Frame: Specialized Epic WC Expert Groupset: SRAM Apex drop bar shifters Wheels: Roval Control SL Tires: Specialized Fast Trak 👉 Let me know in the comments – would you ride a drop bar MTB?
