What size frame is it? Looks like a 20”….

I’ve got this ‘92 frame that I’ve yet to build up …. Not sure if this has been repainted but was purchased as a low mileage frame….

Anybody selling or know of anyone wanting to sell an early 90’s Stumpjumper or M2? Nothing over 18” and doesn’t matter if it’s just a frameset or complete bike. Steel frame preferred but would be interested in the earlier M2’s as in the photo (not my bike sadly but can dream 🤣) 👍👍

Looking for a nice set of silver Deore XT HB-M730 & RH-M732 hubs by themselves or a tidy Wheelset with Mavic, Araye rims etc. These will be the last main components I need for my ‘91 Specialized project…. Anything out there, must be tidy, mint ideally but not necessarily nos….

Hi, 7 speed will go on if you use a 4.5mm spacer 👍

I’m looking into it as it appears all my build thread images are not visible/disappeared and have no idea why…🤔😡 Thanks for the share 👍

I did a pair a few years ago and they are still looking good…. Use an etch or special metals primer beforehand with the bodies being aluminium (light key the surface beforehand) then apply a satin black finish. To get a textured surface finish once you’ve applied a couple of light coats then...

Fir M123 32 hole rims (have the lower protruding brake track lip to keep the brake pads from slipping down the rim) on XT M737 hubs. Hubs lovely and smooth as I’ve stripped and regreased them with Shimano bearing grease. Very tidy Wheelset, nice and true, rims are healthy and aren’t badly worn...
