Re: Re:

Good to meet you in slam69 today - I'd spied your wheels out the back a bit earlier - very nice!

you'll only regret compromising and then spend more money later on undoing your wrongs

Very true

Cheers Coleman likewise, always good to meet a fellow retro biker in the area

finally got round to posting some pics of my 92 stumpjumper pro.
i am super pleased with the way its turned out, i went a little over board on my first build but i really wanted to make this bike stand out as i am a hugh fan of specialized steel frames.

The bikes had a full restore with some NOS and but mostly second hand parts from the good folk on here. i had the wheels built by slam 69 cycles in cloucester and the graphics by Gil at retro decals. I also changed the drivetrain to 8 speed because i had an 8 speed hub. heres the full spec anyway.

Very good work!

It's nice to see old steel bikes coming back to live.
