Okay, here's a fun twist to the story. The seller hit the stem with calipers, measures 7/8". Bummer, right? Well, on a lark I ask him to measure the headtube OD and it's 1 1/2". What do you reckon the odds are that the bike has a 38mm headtube OD, 34mm ID, but a 1" headset (somehow)?

M2 with 1-1/2 OD head tube seems like it would be 1-1/8 ID with 1/8 inch tube wall. M2 was higher end so even for Speciailized that would make since. Worth the road trip.

There is some overlap with 1" Stumpjumpers and the switch to Aluminum M2 frames, I have a purple/green fade M2 that is 1".
I think the first year or maybe two of the M2 frames were still 1" headtube.
