S-WORKS M2 93 FRAME QUERY??

[Rio]

yesterday I saw the exact same frame! no story though...

Sériously slecialized use 30.9 seatpost. Will most other use 30.8. I remenber when i haved i M2 team 1995.

Open up yo' eyes!

:shock:

It's an early nineties frame sized for a 1" headset (probably JIS), with a 31.8mm seat tube. The oversized M2 frames (34.9mm seat tube, 30.9mm seatpost) didn't arrive until the mid nineties.

I think the early M2's had 26.8, like the steel frames. Later steel ones have 30.4 and later M2's have 30.9 mm.

Right.

my 94 steel stumpy takes a 30,4mm

Your '94 steel Stumpy is a '95.

might´ve been sold in 95, serial number says 94, first two digits.
like, whatever though, man.

It might even've been sold in '94, but it's still a '95. A '94 looks like this:

Re:

Got a feeling you guys could be wrong? Check out the details in the link below?

If it's a 93, your frame is not a S-Works Stumpjumper - as per your link, only the steel framed Stumpjumper was S-works in that year. I think the decals on your frame are possibly off a 93 S-Works FSR?

Anyway, I'm guessing what you have is either an M2 or M2 FS, and the correct decals should look more like this:

Can't help much re: the seatpost size, but still a lovely frame.

Sorry to revive a dinosaur thread but I was just researching a bike I have and stumbled on this thread.

How sure are you that there was no M2 S Works for the 1993 year? I have a M2 S Works frame that I'm 99% sure is a 1993, or built in 1993 for 1994 model year maybe but it takes a 26.8 seatpost, 1" threaded headset and 31.8 front mech. The serial number on the dropout dates it as a 93. The odd part is its almost identical to my 1991 steel S Works with the same dark green metallic paint, pewter decals and the same S Works decals. I was trying to find out how many were made as I've heard that the production run for the 93 M2 S Works was very small.
