That is a great addition and background story if it is her bike!
You have to check the frame for cracks now ;-)

Re:
That's just awesome news mate and i can't imagine that frame being any one elses but Cindy's after what you've found especially with that email confirming the original forks being wrote off so even though the frame wasn't initially made to fit Cindy it most certainly seems to me that her initials were added to the serial number so they new who the bike was for once it was completed

..Re: Re:
I'm making a few more inquiries before calling it but the current evidence is fairly compelling. Even if it turns out not to be her bike it's been fun researching the history of the team for the build.Muddy paw":7qhoiu1t said:That's just awesome news mate and i can't imagine that frame being any one elses but Cindy's after what you've found especially with that email confirming the original forks being wrote off so even though the frame wasn't initially made to fit Cindy it most certainly seems to me that her initials were added to the serial number so they new who the bike was for once it was completed
Re: 1989 Stumpjumper Epic
the first bike I rode and raced weighed about 32-33lbs!
I'll weigh it this weekend and confirm if it is indeed the heaviest bike frame ever made.
Lucky you, we clearly have very different bike historieskrakhaus":3andhrun said:

Yes i think my old 88 MuddyFox Explorer was around the 32lb mark and i bet my 1990 Fire Mountain weighs around 34lb and yet both bikes are a real pleasure to ride ..
