I have had my Stumpjumper for a couple of months now, but until now had never taken it for a ride.
I originally built it up with a set of Mavic wheels I had kicking around plus Panaracer Magics.....but it just didnt look right. So, I stayed at the back of my shed.
But now, I have treated to some fresh gil_m Stumpjumper decals, a pair of lovely Wolber rims on DX hubs, wrapped them with skinwall Z-Max tyres and finally changed the red Flite for a more subtle black Vetta. In my opinion, it looks pretty good now.
So, I now felt like taking it for a ride to see whats its like.
Oh good god, its amazing. In fact, I am struggling to find anything wrong with it.
It may just be perfect.
Now, this leaves me with a problem.
I thought I had found my ultimate bike when I brought my Zaskar LE. I thought it was my holy grail, the answer to all my prayers, the perfect go anywhere do anything bike.......but maybe not.
Dont you hate it when you find something that you were not looking for?
