Im not sure when they stopped having horizontals but the 94s definitely still have them. Ive been having a hard time finding the specs of the bike and specialized's interactive faq is really hard to navigate (im still trying to figure out how to ask a question)
edit: I dont think its horizontal dropouts anymore because i saw my friends 2000 stumpjumper and it had the same dropouts. I thought it was because it was in an angle but i think the slide is way too short to be called a horizontal...maybe i should take a picture and have someone id it.
