Show us your Specialized

Yep a very worthwhile project, guess for retro bikers this must be a form of mindfulness!
These 1990’s era MTBs just seem to go on forever. And in your case the unique colour scheme means you’ll never lose it in a crowd!

Mostly catalogue spec except modern grips, DX Thumbies and Hubs instead of XT, Tange sealed bearing headset not XT.

2022/3 Specialized Bikes Advert showing nice retro bike in background.

Not sure the dates and names are correct for the retro bike in the background. Looks like a 1991 M2. The retro bike referenced in the text is an Epic from 1990/1.

"In 1990, we turned the mountain bike world on its head when we launched the Epic Ultimate. This was a bike so far ahead of its time that the process and price limited the number of bikes being produced to only 100-per-year. The process was actually so advanced that we even had to produce them at our headquarters, here in Morgan Hill. But when we combined all this with the athleticism of Ned Overend, the reward was next to immediate. In other words, no one was surprised when the pairing went on to win the very first Mountain Bike World Championships. Today, the new S-Works Epic stands for the same things as it did 27 years ago—to be at the pinnacle of XC performance. No excuses."

I enjoy the process
You may recognize these bikes:
1994 Specialized Stumpjumper FS
1994 Specialized S-Works FSR - a future project. The one and only previous owner donated this bike to me (yes, miracle happens) and I haven't decide what to do with it yet. I like it as it is with those odd front shocks...

For a minute I thought you’d been donated 2x FSRs !! …thank goodness it’s just a mirror, that would have been crazy otherwise.

It was so nice of @Once A Hero to donate his to me, in return I donated to him some worthless bits of old paper with an old lady on

I really enjoyed restoring this 1985 Specialized Stumpjumper. His new owner drove 1000 miles from San Diego to San Francisco and back in one day(!) just to get it. I hear you @Joe*Pro - the worthless green paper with dead men on them are gone, and so is the bike. Thank you for putting together so much info on 1994 S-Works FSR!

The Girvin matches nicely with the rear suspension, provides some symmetry

The one listed as a 1994 FS is a 1993 FS. First one I've seen with an original perforated & black saddle, nice.
