2018 Specialized Camber Expert. Picked it up this morning. Paid $2750. Original MSRP was $4900 but it probably sold for around $4400. Seller was a super rad dude who was genuinely sad to see it go but had too many bikes and needed cash more than he needed to keep this.

Important deets: Size XL for my lanky 6’1” body which is hard to find used. Carbon main frame with an aluminum rear triangle. Fox shocks front and rear. SRAM Eagle GX 1x12 drivetrain (30Tx10-50T) and Level TL brakes. Carbon Roval wheels (27.5”). Super finicky Specialized dropper post that I already thought I broke when it got locked in the highest position only to dislodge and seemingly fix itself when I landed a small jump. Only thing not stock is the PO replaces the crappy tires with Maxxis Rekon tubeless 2.6” wide meats.

It barely fits in my Forester. AMA I guess.
