Specialized S-works M2 1997

[FSXStumpy]

The "S" in the serial number is not unique to S-Works frames. My own '95 Stumpy M2 has a serial that begins with 95S16.... Definately not an S-works - I've owned it since new. It was purchased "frame only".

Re:

This looks so classy - 1997 was the last year of the good looking Specialized bikes IMHO

Hi there, welcome to the forum
That is such a cool bike you've built up there , although I do wonder if the chain is a bit short.

Thank you all for your smart comments.

I had lots of pleasure while searching all the parts (i started buying the frame).
The same feeling during the assembly day.
And i still have pleasure riding it!
A great bike!
I've changed Rithey headset for a Chris King one last week. It fits better.

About the chain length, thank you for your advice and i should agree it's a bit short. But i like it like that and i'm very carefull with my transmission usually, so i hope it won't hurt. I use to fix chains that way and i never had any problems about it on all the bike i owned.

Re:

Fair enough mate, I know this as I have a bike with a similarly short chain that I've been meaning to change for ages! :roll:
Enjoy riding that lovely bike. One of the nicest Specialized alloy hardtails I've seen here

That's why i only think about it!
But, yes, spinergy were a dream when i was teen. Maybe it's a bad idea, but i like those wheels. As i've found some at a nice price, i wonder.
And i'll still have the spoked wheels.

Put them on something carbon maybe.

You don't have one? Perfect excuse for another bike I think
