hi!!!
Specialized s-works m2 "pro" inquiry
Hi there, I enjoy your lively discussions on this forum (though never participated).
My new-to-me 1991s-works purple haze frame has translucent decals (downtube "SPECIALIZED" and chain stay "M2 Pro" - why would Specialized use translucent decals!?) with "M2 Pro." I have seen some pics floating around in this forum with M2 Team from 1992 but have not seen Pro. Does anyone know the difference(s) between Team and Pro? My guess is the parts spec (XT instead of XTR/SunTour) or sold as a frame set, but I haven't found any distinction being made. Any more tube manipulations on Team model than Pro model? Is this one of 500 made? i think
Anyway, why did Specialized use transparent decals? I say this because all other yellow decals (including Duralcan) are 100% intact. If only downtube decals had faded, that's a pretty awsome effect, don't you think? And I'm 99.9% sure it's not peeled off, as the chain stay protective film is applied over the "M2 Pro" translucent decal (see pic).
Thank in advance. It just makes me wonder as none of the 1992/1993 catalogue mention anything about "Pro" model. And all pics have yellow "SPECIALIZED" downtube decals.
