    2000 M2 Stumpjumper frame with headset £125

    I bought this frame off Harryburgundy back in January and had it built up with Pace carbon forks. I've just picked up a nice S-Works hardtail frame so this has been stripped down. Size is 17", top tube about 22" actual and 22.75" effective. Comes fitted with a decent quality Cane Creek sealed...

    98 Mango Stumpjumper M2 Pro

    Nice looking bike there. I bought a 97 M2 new a long, long time ago and always regretted selling it. Recently finished building up a 2000 frame with rigid Pace Carbon forks, which I think look nicer than the P2's. I've been doing a few miles on it while I'm waiting for the shock on my Stumpy...

    M2 and Voodoo

    I bought the same model/colour M2 new - it's definitely the 97 model. I remember the original RS Judys were garbage - they didn't survive one winter before the bushes disintegrated and all the anodizing wore off the stanchions. It wasn't long before I binned them and fitted a set of Pace Rc36...

    Stumpjumper M2 build up

    Re: re: 10% sag is a bit on the stiff side for suspension setup, unless you want a nearly rigid ride with with just enough bounce to take the edge off the big hits. I've set up my full-suss with 25% sag front and rear, which is about right to get the full travel on really big hits, without...

    Why is it some people wont ship abroad?

    I used to send ebay items abroad, but from a seller's point of view it can be a lot of extra hassle. Items can take forever to arrive, leading to claims that it has been lost, or you haven't posted it at all. For larger items you've got the hassle of finding the cheapest shipping method, and...

    Stumpjumper M2 build up

    The black one's my KTM 990 Adventure, the other one's somebody else's 600 Hornet. It hasn't been out of the garage for a while now, mainly because of the crappy weather. :(

    Specialized Stout Hubs - Here it is....

    I've got a black NOS one I got off ebay for next to nowt a few weeks ago. Haven't really decided what to do with it yet - it isn't the lightest of hubs, but the matt black finish would look good when built up.

    Modern Mavic XC717 V's Older D521

    The 717 will be build into a really strong wheel, but it will more susceptable to rim damage if you're regularly hammering it on rocky downhills. When I used to ride a hardtail I used a 517 on the front and the stronger 521 on the rear after I got got fed up of replacing dented back rims. If...

    Stumpjumper M2 build up

    That's the problem. When I bought the frame the intention was to build it up as cheaply as possible so I had something to use for training rides when I didn't want to get the full-suss FSR out. It's already cost me quite a bit more than I'd budgeted. :D I've got my eye on a 2000 S-Works on...

    Stumpjumper M2 build up

    The Pace forks are 420mm long and from what I've read they're designed to replace an 80mm travel fork, which is what the frame is designed to run. At the moment it weighs around 22lbs. When I get round to changing the chainset and rear cassette for XT items and fitting a lighter saddle it...
