2001 Specialized S-Works M4

My 2001 Specialized S-Works M4

Specified and ordered by August 2000 she was bought one month later at a Houston bike store. I’m the first and only owner and we’ve been together for the last 23 years.

By mid 2019 we run the last race and right after that I’ve decided to use my full spare NOS XTR M952 group, the original one, for a complete revamp.

Had one of these back in the day… loved it and was superlight!!! I recall that one of my bottle bosses failed and started spinning after a year or so of ownership so I was given the following years replacement frame under warranty.
Wish I hadn’t sold it …
Yours looks great
