Nice bit of kit that - you’ll need to put a price on it though or it’ll be removed.. glws.

That colour scheme is the 'Blood Red' from the 1993 season.

That colour scheme is the 'Blood Red' from the 1994 season isn't it, not 1993?

Pretty sure it’s ‘93 and the colour “burgundy”. Frame tubing sticker still credits Tange Prestige for the direct drive tubing, and the decals are gold mustard fill (not cream/purple like ‘94). Unless there is something I’m missing?

Nice and clean, not my cup of tea I’m afraid I like coffee more good luck with the sale

The colours in the catalogues are confusing - but I think the tell is the Tange Direct decal, which the1994's did not have. I agree this is a 1993.


From 94 catalogue is only a small tubing image



Decal colours seem to be very close on both.

OP's color is yellow-green logos and grey outline
The one you've posted (from 1993) is burgundy w/ grey-pea green logos and plum outline.

I think OP's bike is a 1994. But...I think he has the M2 frame. Grab a magnet...

Magnet sticks: Chromo frame, base model Stumpy, blood red
Magnet no stick: M2 frame, mid model Stumpy, team red

Apologies to Original Poster who is trying to sell a bike and we've jumped on the thread with some forensics of which year it is from!

Although the 93 catalogue pic doesn't show the decal I refer to, the Tange Direct seat tube decal wasn't placed on 94 models, there was a Big "S" by 94.

Decal here on a 1993 FS Stumpjumper seat tube



Serial number would help identify the year.
In 1993 the steel rigid was available in "Burgundy" ; in 1994 it was done in Green (the more common colour) and "Blood Red". Its hard to tell which may be which based on historic pictures or catalogue pics - picture lighting could make them look similar

Ref M2's - the red 94 M2 drop outs would not look like these ones either. Plus the tubing looks like the steel width, not the wider M2

The 93 has a threaded headset ; by 94 they were using a 1 inch aheadset on these models.
Here's a steel 93 - showing the dropouts, Tange decal and threaded headset&fork steering tube.

Definitely a ‘93 as I suspected then. Threaded headset (used a quill adapter for the build), and burgundy. Thanks for the details and confirmation! Now just need someone to buy it so I can fund my ‘88 bianchi grizzly rebuild
