1993 Specialized S-Works Steel
19" Hardtail Frame
??? Single Speed Anyone ???
I purchased this frameset new in 1993 and - I'm embarrassed to say - I've only put 517 miles on it. (Yes, I put a computer on it day one.) I had the bike built-up with XTR, a full SRP titanium kit, Synchros titanium seatpost, etc. and it weighed less than 25 pounds with bottle cages, tool bag . . . ready to ride! Not bad for an eleven year old bike.
For the few miles it has it should be perfect but, alas, it is not. I crashed coming down Mill-D and heard a wonderful ringing in my ears . . . only to see a ding in the top tube. (Expletive deleted.) And it has some scratches, to be sure; though none on the chain stay - I had it well protected. Most importantly, it's straight and the ride quality is intact. I put an American flag sticker over the booger on the top tube.
Also installed when new, is the Future Shock FSX fork; it is a "fully tunable air/oil suspension fork" - think Mag21. I am including the shock pump required for adjusting air pressure. I also have, and will include, a new rebuild kit for the fork.
You can't quite tell from the photos, but the color fades from burgundy to purple - very nice in the sun. Finally, I will include a titanium seatpost binder bolt.
Frame specs:
Top tube length c-c: 22.5"/57.2cm
Chain stay length: 16.9"/43.0cm
Head tube angle: 71 degrees
Seat tube angle: 73 degrees
Stand-over height: 29.8"/ 75.69cm
Includes the following:
19" Specialized S-Works Steel frame
Specialized Future Shock FSX fork
Fork rebuild kit
Fork air pump with pressure release valve
Specialized Pro Alloy headset
Titanium seatpost binder bolt
I'd like to get $150, but I might be dreaming. Make me an offer.

Specialized S-Works HT w/fork. Single Speed?

Good looking frame, but that dent is a killer...I second that you might want to try ebay...I got a call at a shop I worked at from a guy somewhere in the midwest who was trying to collect S-Works frames from as many years as possible, so you never know who's out there.
and that shock pump/syringe is sooo trick.

Hurray! I sold my frame - sans fork - and the XTR brakes for $200.
Must now give serious consideration to a new pair of skis.
