Q&D pics of 1992 ? Specialized S-works Steel

[one-eyed_jim]

that's nice that stumpy. but this is where it gets a little too nerdy...

Too nerdy? We're grown men nitpicking about old bicycles. Can anything be too nerdy?

:shock:

i reckon that's the alternative colour 1994 model. alternative to the gorgeous clay/ green (or gray green - can't remember.)

Surely the '94 would have a threadless stem.

You lucky expletive deletive. That's a beautiful piece of engineering, also a classic piece of MTB history.

Massive envy right now.

yes you're right it did have. 1inch but ahead.

Also that one is deffo a 93 as after 93 the decals were sharper. the typeface had a harder less flowy edge. you can see this on the R at the end of the stumpjumper. On the 93's it flowed like this one.

I stand corrected.

If it helps, I am pretty sure I got my F&F NEW from the Bike ship I worked in 1993! I recon it is a 1993 from all the input from the guys here. My serial number on S works steel Frame starts with 92.

Good luck with the trick release, these things are like rocking horse sh1t!! The one I got from bay is not correct but will have to do.

Remember to post some more images when you have it cleaned up and completed......

Keith - your's is a 1993.






I need a cup of tea.

As this tread is on dating specialized frames.

I have a deep red Stumpjumper with 92-???? as the serial number I take it that’s also a 1993, also my Pink Stumperjumper Comp, is 91G????.

Anyone know what the G stands for on the Pink Comp, also it that a 1992 or 1991?

Help Gus!! pls ;-)

Also my deep red Stumpy is very similar colour to this S works frame and it’s for sale if any one is interested? (No forks which is a bummer)

Thank you all...your knowledge is truly great....and much appreicated..


Once cleaned up..and tweaked..i will repost some pics under the heading

1993 Specialized S-works, original XTR spec.

This has sort of got me hooked now.....where to go from here....a Stumpy perhaps.....any suggestions...if i had had any money i would have bid on that 91 Stumpy Comp on Ebay yesterday...

What should i be paying for a nice early 90's Stumpjumper ?

Regards Keith

If it helps, I paid just under £100.00 for my 1992 Pink Stumpjumper Comp on bay this year, Almost original spec and very rare colour.

I think it depends how many people want it and how well the add is writtten.

Good luck Chris.

And the Pink stumpy comp is a 1992.

Bought mine - awesome condition in France for £60.
