Noice!...

I love me a workhorse Specialized, especially a Stumpy . I'm really jones'ing for an M2 from this era, I remember longingly looking at them in the window of my LBS *ahhhh..memories, eh?*

Nice spec. Pauls, Avid Ti, XTR..........

And these M2 frame are well deserving of it too.

Very nice.

Not entirely sure about the forks though! What travel they running at?
