Specialized M2 Info Thread/Serial Registry

Great thread for these great frames ,thanks Neko.
Here's my '99 Comp in what looks like German Racing Silver, I've only ever seen one other in this colour on the MTBR thread for these frames. I bought mine from Holland and the other is from the USA so not shure if the colour is specific to one particular market. Apologies if you've seen it recently on the SS thread.

There’s an identical silver anodized 1996 S-Works M2 frame on eBay right now, so mine is no longer a one-off — it’s a two-off
Still don’t know the story behind these…

Evening all. Just bought a ‘91 M2 frame and fork and will be sorting it out this summer. No stranger to retro bikes but new to retro Specialized.
Always wanted one of these and grew up with MBUK and idolising Ned.
On the lookout for a nice XT FD and chainset.

Great thread, thanks - and greetings from Bavaria…
So my Comp is a 98 model. Never knew where the serial no was. Thank you for this info.
I also never knew that the m2 models were such special things. To me it seemed that’s what Specialized called their aluminium frames.
And while I gravitate more towards older steel frames I have to say this thing rides beautifully. It’s just a little bit on the small side for me.

Recently picked up this 1996 M2 SWork Hardtail frame and fork. The color appears to be Norris Blue found on Stumpjumper FS Comp's of the same year, but I've never seen an S-Works in this color. I've also not seen an S-Works after 94/95 that doesn't have the "Specialized" decal on the top tube that usually indicates an S-Works frame. There is absolutely no sign one ever existed there. Would love to know if this is legit and/or if there are others out there in this color. Serial number begins with 96S4. Thanks!

Hi,
I have been given this 94(?) M2 S-Works from my father (he specced + bought it new for commuting) but it is too large for me - I’d be looking to sell it for a smaller bike but not sure what its worth, would be great if anyone could give me a rough idea of its value
I have the original saddle, its just not currently fitted - everything else on it seems to be original, but i don’t know much about these bikes (and bikes in general honestly) so feel free to correct me
thanks, Alex
