Help identifying early Specialized S-Works

[lolin]

Hello, I'm struggling to identify this early S-Works model I snagged recently. Doesn't match the color palette of any models I can find in the old catalogues.

Here are some details that will hopefully help:

27.0mm seat post
91 serial number.
17 inch frame (center of bb to center of tt)
Suntour XC Pro Microdrive groupset
S-Works logo on front of seat tube, instead of the side
No logo on head tube.
Looks a lot like the 92 S-Works steel, but logo placements and color options don't seem to match. Sizes are listed as 16.5 and 18" for that year as well.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

99% sure you will find that's not the original paint job so I wouldn't go by the colour alone to ID it.

Is that steerer / fork bent?

I'm glad you said something, because that's what I was thinking as well.

I also thought it was until I looked in the catalogues and saw others with the same look. Maybe they were trying to shorten the wheelbase?

I wonder if the rear end has been painted. Might be able to tell if there's any evidence of blue in the dropouts? Looks nice though.
