There is a 2001 18" S-works 2001 in the listings, which is an M4 frame, weighing 1472 grams (Including the disc-brake adapter).
There also is a 2002 18" Stumpjumper M4 Pro frame that weighs 1528 grams.

Specialized says the 2003 frames are even lighter than last year's due to that ORE-tech thing (The downtube with that bend at the headtube). That probably does not mean that M4 frames suddenly weigh 1200 grams. In fact: When Bike manufacturers say "lighter", that can mean almost anything. Like "heavier" or "It has a ligher look".

My guess would be: 1450 grams, but asking them probably is a better idea.
