1993 Specialized S-Works Steel

Many thanks but.... apart of the stem, fork, we have the same dia compe Ahead set, same investment cast seat collar, low temperature brazed vertical dropouts... look o be the same frame .... As the M2 are..

I have made a quick investigation: the tubes thckness mentioned in the S-Works Ccatalog are the standards ones for Tange Prestige tubing.

In the 1991 specialized Catalog, the same Mark Dinucci is mentioned as the inventor of the SFS, Specialized Frame Sytem and direct drive, with is one tubing as said S-Work.

Perhaps i need to call him!!!

Not the same frame by lots of miles. Tubing is entirely different and care during welding as well. S works tubing was designed by Mark Di Nucci, a highly respected frame builder and inovator.
Parts like aheadsets are a dime a dozen. Frames like the sworks are not.
