I have a Specialized mtb I'm trying to find a year. everyone tells me you can't, I think that's bull. it
is a "S" works chromoly frame/fork set thst came with seat post and stem. my buddy said you could only get it as a frame/fork combo only. it's gray with blue and purple decals on it. if anyone can help,
let me know.

Bob post a pic of it, I bet someone around here had one bitd and can tell the year the got it.

what size is the head tube? 1" or 1.25"?

and yes post a pic

The shop I used to work at still has a collection of catalogs since they've sold Specialized from the early '80s -- That's the way to check.

I can't remember the year for yours, butI think it was around the early '90s. Unless you know someone with a catalog collection, I can take a look if I go by there soon.

(I had several Stumpjumpers and S-Works bikes from '83 to now.)

((Great, my first post on vintagebmx and it's about mountain bikes!))

Is it straight gray or sort of purpley gray? If it is, it could be 1995.

It did come f/f but was also available with XT, XTR, or XTR Hot Rod kits.

Here is the best online collection of mtb catalogues I have found.
