Specialized Chisel FS: Is this Epic shaped, alloy framed bike the ultimate XC bargain?

Specialized's new Epic has been winning World Cups all year, but what if your budget is 2k not 10k? The new Chisel blends Epic inspired geometry and suspension with a superb SmartWeld alloy frame and then decks it out in Specialized, SRAM and RockShox kit. Does that create the ultimate XC bargain? Find out live from behind the bars on my moors and forests first ride.
