The crankset and seat/post would have been original. The bike came with a threaded headset. It’s a 1992 S-Works M2 Team.

Balance maybe?

Hi BCNBiker, It appears you have a 1992 or 1993 M2 Team. Is the seat collar rounded or does it have sharp edges?

Re: seatpost size, my 1991 M2 base (identical frame) takes a 26.8 post.

Yes, this is a 1992 S-Works M2. Poor dropouts have been drilled for a rack.

Hi, a bit late but great find! I can confirm this is a 1991 M2 Team.

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...

I’ll take 4th!! Congrats @uschibert 🎉

In 15 years I will be able to duel T-Mar in knowledge. Everything I learned in school must go… only old bike stuff is allowed to take residence in my brain! 😸 Thank you dearly for that link! I somehow did not stumble upon it yet and now I have my hands on the world’s most valuable cheat sheet...

Tough choice! But the amount of FRO and Fat and other “pristine build” pics I have stored on my phone (almost 5 digits of retro bike photos saved over 6 years!) often makes me crave the unusual… 😛 Good luck!! 🐾

As non-fixie said, this is a dependable, mid-range late 70’s Japanese steel classic. Reliable, tough as nails, sweet looking, but not worth too much. Where I live (west coast US), one in this condition would fetch between $200 and $300. It looks to be mostly original and is the oldest KHS I’ve...

Struck gold today. I walked into the shop I volunteer at and in the “strip” pile, there was a horribly mutilated Giant ATX 780 frame with the correct set of 28-38-48 black XT rings. The outer is a bit more faded and scratched, but they look stellar. I also grabbed a rusty Trek Elance 400 in...

I do have a stand. It sucks, but it does the job. No fancy Park Tool stand yet. My issue is not putting stuff back after I take it out of a drawer because I’m lazy and demotivated. The cave is somewhat cleaner now.

My former 1992 Miyata Alumicross. This probably had no more than 10 miles on it. I committed the ultimate sin and parted it out, as my urge to tinker with things overpowered my (rather strong) will to keep it intact. Definitely regret it. This is right after purchase — I ditched the awful blue...

I’d sell my soul for a JDM Miyata. Or a JDM Miata. Japan always got the cool, zany extras for the domestic market that their export models didn’t have. I bought a Japanese-only (China-made sadly) Casio keyboard for change at a local thrift store recently, and it’s pearly white, all the labels...

I’m pretty sure Mark Zuckerberg could tell you the URL to the original source of an image just by looking at it. In person.

Nah, that’s OfferUp. Been there, done that, recovered a bike stolen from me because the guy who stole it needed to pay off a court fine. I swear every other bike there is stolen. Sheer madness.

What next? Instagram? FBMP is pretty bad, brings to mind the half-Toyota Camry, half-one-wheeled axle abomination. “20k no lowballers I know what I got” Yeah, a search warrant and several pounds of illegal substances?
