1994 Specialized FSR S Works:

This is a first generation Specialized FSR bike with the 4 bar linkage rear suspension.  Many people still consider this style design to be the best overall suspension set up.  This particular bike is the S works version which are the high end "team" bikes from Specialized.  This was the second year for this design and is still in use today in a slightly revised form.  Mostly first generation XTR stuff which is still some of the best functioning and best looking components so far.
