Is this a 90's Dentist Bike? This was Specialized highest end XC frame from 1997 and it was spec'ed with some of the best bits out there.

This is my kid last season riding nica. I don't know who's more sad, him or me. I love being at the races and watching the kids ride. It's exciting and peaceful.

Lovely build, dream bike territory. I agree - the XT cranks don’t do it justice, otherwise very nice though. We should all take a minute to appreciate the times we live in. Your average person can now afford those 90’s bikes which were very much out of reach when they were new. And the kicker is - they still look and ride as good as they ever did. Keep ‘em coming Mr Shovel.. 👌

@red_dread 17 күн бұрын

I had a few of these back in the day, a couple still in my collection and featured on my channel. Wasn't a dentist, just a kid that worked in bike shops! My '99 S-Works looked very similar except by then M2 had given way to M4, and in the UK my equivalent carbon fork choice was a Pace. That bike took a beating and still runs today. Interestingly even the stock build didn't have full XTR. For some reason there was a mix of XT in there, and the crankset was a Specialized own brand, as were the hubs (S-Works badge engineered DT Hugi). Seatpost and stem were Ritchey on the 99 and Thomson on the '02.

@ryanolinger639 25 күн бұрын

The shim for the stem is likely a Specialized stem adjustment shim. These were pretty common with S in the 90’s - 00’s. Rotating the shim allows for about 2-3 degrees worth of adjustability. My Allez and both Stumpjumpers from this era had them. Even my 2015 Roubaix has one.

@oldshovel 25 күн бұрын

It wasn’t a shim. The steer tube on the fork was too long and it has an extra pice of steer tube on top to make it long enough for the stem, the only thing really holding it on was the stem cap bolt which was extra long. Totally sketchy.

Was die federgabel angeht, ich hätte die XC 30 von roxshox genommen. Die hat einen lockout und einen rebound, das reduziert das wippen am Berg. Und ich hätte das mtb auf 1:11fach umgebaut mit einer 46er Kassette. Die deore von Shimano Wäre da geeignet.

"I don't know about you, but the dentist bike expression is starting to sound like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. Holding dentists up as the quintessential high earners with all the best gear and none of the skills is seriously about a generation old at this point. Yeah, dentists generally make a comfortable living, but they're far from the top of the earnings scale these days. And in fact, most of the dentists I know don't mountain bike or do so minimaly because their hands are their livelihood, so they're pretty interested in minimizing the risk of injury. I suggest deleting the "dentist" part of the expression and inserting "PE guy", "cryptobro" or "VC dude", so least the earnings reference part of the expression will be appropriate for... this century" Quote from MTBR discussion forum.
