S-Works M2 MTB Year Identification
Hi All! I picked up a Specialized S-Works M2 MTB and haven't been able to pin down a year of manufacture, and if the bike components are original. The frame has a 92T stamp on it, very red paint with yellow Specialized letters, Deore XT derailleurs and hubs, Deore LX headset with Control tech stem and seat post, Manitou threaded suspension fork. 8spd SRAM SRT500R Grip shifters, Z-21 Pro wheels.
Is it a 92 or a 93? Was Deore the stock components or should they have been XTR?
Thanks for any info you might be able to share!

92 seems like a good bet. Suspension, threaded headset, canti’s. Exciting times. Manitou used that fork for rear suspension, too!
