Well it would seem that through the combination of alcohol and access to eBay I will shortly be taking on a 1998 Specialized Stumpjumper M2 build :facepalm:
This isn't the potential money pit that a usual build would be as I have almost/all of the bits (see below)
I have a complete M952 groupset that I plan to use albeit with some Arch Rivals taking the braking duties as if honest I prefer them.
The frame is a 1998 so I hope to use a Thomson (non oversize) stem and seatpost.
The one bit of the build I could do with some advise on if forks.
The std approach for Specialized at the time was the Manitou route. Not keen on this so was planning to use some Z2's or go rigid.
Thinking 420mm rigid forks :| as my Z2s are 65mm travel or will I be fine?
All suggestions and thoughts welcomed :xmas-big-grin:
