Following discussion at the Wobble yesterday and seeing Corduroyboy's lovely frame in 'For Sale' today (is that serendipity?) I really owe it to myself to look for a steel Stumpjumper in 21".
To add a bit of context, I had a Stumpjumper that a mate bought for me to ride the first Polaris ("we're in the Polaris" "but I don't have a bike" "yes you do big man, pick it up tomorrow" - sadly I had to pay him back). i sold it, as you foolishly do, but bought it back and it rode up the Karakorum Highway in 1998. I then had to abandon it minus a few parts in Pakistan following September 11. Getting one back would be great, nice frames but with a particular resonance for me.
I'd prefer fully rigid from 1991 to 1994 if possible but will be interested in what's out there in general including S Works! If anyone can help that would be much appreciated.
