Hi all! I would like to share my accumulated knowledge of Specialized’s M2 (Metal Matrix) frame lineup from 1991 to 2000. I will also include a serial registry here to help me (and others) better understand date and color differences between years and trims that may not be entirely obvious. The...

For sale is a Specialized Allez Comp frameset in zebra Acqua Sapone colours. c. 2005 ish. I think. Price £100 + postage, or collect from Tadcaster. I bought this on a bit of a whim several years ago, as I liked the look of the frameset, then read a bit about the history of the Acqua Sapone...

Everything started (again) some months ago, while looking for some period accessories for my 1989 HardRock Comp. Then this popped up… “Wait, is that a Stumpie?” I wasn’t really looking for a stumpjumper but I started wondering: “how hard would it be to find a team stumpjumper?” Then an alert...

I just found this beautiful frameset, it looks like a 1993 Specy M2, but the serial number looks weird to me. Can someone help me to identify it? Thanks

Hi all, sharing this ongoing project. Found this frame and fork at a local car boot sale (Flea market / Garage sale for my non UK friends). Although it had parts of a headset the fork was separate. As you can see it had chain, front and rear derailleur, bottom bracket and crank / pedals...

Specialized M2, top condition and a dream bike barn find, owned by a Dutch Specialized representative who unfortunately passed away. The bike appears to have had a previous racing history but I have not been able to verify this, it was then kept by his brother-in-law for 14 years and is now...

My '96 StumpJumper was a gift for my 30th birthday. It came close to being put on the curb a few times, and I'm so glad I always came to my senses and held on to it. Over the years, it's gotten a few new parts to bring it in to the future (rigid fork, shorter stem, wider handlebars, dropper...

My old FSR Sull suspension. Have the bike for years but only saw this this weekend!?! :rolleyes: ”handmade in japan” Never new…! Aynone knows till when Specialized made there steel Stumpjumpers in Japan? Thanks!

How much is my 'Sworks Epic ultimate' worth ? :) frame top lenth(cTOc) around 58cm XTR m950-952 parts.. and i just find a Specialized Fsx(future shock) for 1" with steeter tube over 18cm.. :)

Hi all, I’m looking for some help / advice. My father was previously an avid user of retrobike under the name Kirbdug and had a small collection. Unfortunately in December he passed suddenly leaving behind some of his mountain bikes. I’ve little knowledge of the bikes, mostly because one...

It is time to say goodbye to this beauty. Size Large - fully working. £1000 ish The wheels were rebuilt and in good nick. I have the original tyres (nearly new) and original stem on the new bike if a collector and a serious offer is made. There is a guide price in one of the links ($1100...

Not sure of the correct term for this but I wondered if anyone could suggest a clip on cable guide/stop type thing (or something that will do the job) for a frame that doesn’t have one. It’s a 1996/97? Specialized Hardrock gx sport and I want to put v brakes on it, it just has this little noodle...

Hello, I want to share my flea market find. I bought it for $150, bike is in perfect condition, but it turned out to be too small for me, so I made some alterations I replaced the stem with a high-rise BBB stem and the handlebars with Funn Full On bars Since I hate grip shifters, I took...

After searching around for a while, I came across this Specialized Hardrock on FB marketplace and grabbed it. It appears to be mostly original other than the seat and a few other bits. I'm not sure of the year, perhaps someone could help me out here? The drivetrain needs some work, I had the...
