The EPO is a US Made, Italian steel, road frame. Actually, it's 38c max tire clearance makes it an All-Road bike, right? Who knows anymore. Anyway...the EPO is built by Darren Larkin up in Connecticut in very small batches (less than 10 this round). It's made up of an assortment of the finest Columbus steel available. The fine Italian tubes provide a ride quality that will have you wanting to push this bike like you've been juiced up and are breaking away in the '99 Tour de France. Each frame comes paired up with an ENVE AR Disc Fork to match the frame's tire clearance and keep the front end light and nimble.
