Specialized S Works steel '95 - split prices.

[Rod_Saetan]

The last of the steel high-end Specializeds, this is the hand built from very special tubing S Works frame, available as a frameset only in 1995 with the superlight fork as used on the Ultimate too. Frame size is 16", original fork, seat post and seat clamp bolt, the rest of the build is period correct and based on the XT build 'kit' featured in the catalogue. Parts marked * are new/NOS as of 12 miles ago!

Condition:

Good, it has some marks on the fork and frame through use, obviously frame and fork are straight, it is at the very light end of the spectrum for a steel bike but there are no dents or bad gouges. The wheels have been trued with a couple of the older alloy nipples replaced, gears are indexed and work well, brakes are sharp, life left in the pads and plenty in the rims, some NOS parts as above, tyres have life left too. I am not sure the Hope Titanium BB is the right length think it needs another 4mm to be perfect, it works though and was run like this for years on the bike the cranks/BB came from (same BB width).

Price:

I'd like £500 for this, obviously that is a chunk of money, but its very rare especially in this size, and is fully sorted and ready to ride. Pick up from London (Central or East) preferred, or I can deliver in the South via train/bike riding (we can talk about costs for this).

I can provide a suitable flat bar instead if preferred (I have some lower back issues!)

Great bike from that awesome Specialized period.
If it doesn`t sell as a whole i`ll call first dibs on the frameset/stem combo.

Good luck with the sale though fella
