That head tube was designed by Bill Stevenson for the Alpinestar T24. Bill has work for both Alpinestars and Gary Fusher, were he developped the EOS geometry of the Montare and for Alpinestar

I don’t think it’s a Specialized : before 90, lugs frame got rear brake under the stays ( as the pink 1984 Stumpjumper) and Specialized were generally tig welded. Secondly, decals are not in the right place : Stumpjumper have to be on diagonal tube and Specialized on top tube. seems to be a fake

Very nice bike. Are you sure for 1991? Seems to be a later version with the Risse Racing Shocker insted of the Works Performance

Left cook’s dog bone arm 176mm :)

The SE familly are one of my more favorite bike. The first real mountain bike I bough 30 years ago. Not the better bike for riding, a bit big for me but I really wanted one. No comparison with modern suspension bikes. The rear swingarm is lateraly floating and there’s contrast with the front...

All the SE family meeting! nice pink spring on the SE 1000 !

Very cool bike 😎 Seems to be a Tange crown fork ?

Interest for the brake levers, in case of spliting…
