I am quite liking all things from the big S at the moment, so lets see what you lot have built :wink:

I have just started building my S-Works M2, so for now here is my 89 steel Stumpjumper.

I like Specialized's stuff too (just ordered a new S-Works 2D helmet).

As hardtails go, this is close to perfection.

I don't think so.......although the memory isn't what it once was :lol:

I bought the frameset, with the FSX forks, ex-demo around that time.........I think the '97 came with Manitou SXti forks IIRC.

Can I date it from the frame number?
