1993 Specialized Stumpjumper - The project begins

I picked up a '93 Stumpie off here from cce a month or so ago, got together a couple of parts which I offered up to the frame today.

The Judy's internal are a bit buggered and when sorted will probably mess up the angles too much. Besides, I'm expecting grannygrinder's 856 so these forks will be moved to that project.

With the X-Lite parts and the Middleburn cranks I've got on the way, I'll probably go on the look out for a set of Pace forks for a British parts build. This will probably mean Hope wheels - red, black or silver, or perhaps some Middleburns or Goldtechs just for something a tad different. The L&M cranks are now heading for the 856.

Frame is obviously in need of a respray and a set of decals - I'm thinking black with red decals. I'd quite like a red WTB Momentum headset too.

Gears will be full 8 speed XT and no compromise on brakes - it's a V brake minimum as I like a bike to stop without too much fuss .

Specialized parts for the remaining finishing kit.

So it'll finish off being an eclectic build with parts spanning a three or four year period but with a Specialized/Brit/XT build criteria.

Looks like you've got a fair start with the brit bits, is that a Ti stem too?

certainly looks much saucier than when i had it already

i will be keeping a close eye on this thread - i have a sick fondness for seeing my children with their adoptive parents

have you seen CTK's Sworks in black and red? Very nice scheme

Have now.



That's pretty much how I'll have my frame - just a slightly less black build.
