If a Specialized has got a S-Works monica, what's the difference between that model and the one below it...? Team frame? Made in USA frame? Just a ploy 'cos it sounds cool...?
What does 'S-Works' mean in real terms??

Well.... My knowledge stems from the M2 days, so I'll speak to that.
The Stumpjumper M2 FS was built with straight-gauge M2 MMC tubing. Only the seat tube was butted (externally)
The S-works version was built with butted M2 MMC tubing, machined head tube and BB shell.
Beyond that, the equipment spec would tend to be higher, but that was the crux of the difference. A lighter, butted frame.
Both were, in M2 times, hand made in USA, at Anodizing Inc.

Many will know I'm asking because of this: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=331860
It says USA made on it, wondered if any other Specialized FSR's were, but also just trying to work out exactly how they differ anyway, on any of the models.

As far as I know, S Works was Spesh's equivalent of Lexus to Toyota. Hand made in USA etc. All good stuff. How's the bike now?

Working on the theory that the mud should just brush off now it's dry. A job for tomorrow. Can't believe there was nothing to change or adjust after that ride, it was a bit harsh as a trial run :shock:

Re:
Specialized being a bit geeky, used the S-works moniker on the top range equipment and bikes, as a parody of the Lockheed/Martin 'Skunk Works' division who developed aircraft such as the stealth bomber and fighter.
