Re: Orange Bontrager Prestige Race Lite This is nothing short of stunning! I've just built up a Bonti Race 94 and now I know that what I really want is the grey you have :cry: . Will post pictures of mine soon, it deserves its own proper thread. I've got the deep blue frame with black and white...

Fantastic. One of the best Stumpy-colours ever! You got my attention.

Thanks a bunch guys. It has something military-like indeed, I couldn't tell though what country.. It is a great ride, seems to suit me perfectly. A few changes will come over time. A black stem and bar is definitely an option to conside. Or else I'll change the seatpost to something silver...

Hi, just want to share some of the pix of the finally finished Stumpjumper project. Some of you have helped out with parts and advice. Thanks for that, this is a great forum. It's not built to original specs all the way, partly because I didn't have everything and was sick of looking for...

Thanks for the info! I'll go with a 26.8 then and can still choose between Syncros and XT, those are the ones I have in 26.8. Still not decided which one it'll be. The original Specialized one does not hold a great appeal for me. I agree with that frame being underspecced. However, I'm a...

The Mt. Tam, what a beauty!!!!!! One size too small for me, why was I meant to be so tall????

If it comes to a split, I'd be superinterested in some parts, mainly the fork (I know, who would split a framset...) and the wheels. maybe one or two more things. I already have two of those frames, don't need yet another. Yes two frames and no matching fork, can you believe it? metabaron

Wow, that was fast! I love the British forum. You guys are on the ball. Holgman

I'll take it. will send pm.

Hi I'm desperately looking for a fork for my stumpjumper project. She's a 1994 beauty of steel and wonderful green paint. It was the first year Specialized used ahead sets and in those days they thought 1'' was a good idea. I really want to build it up in the original setup and it's hard to...

No probs, John. Sometimes I save 'em, sometimes I kill 'em. It's a kind of family tradition.

Please leave your feedback here. Thanks a lot.

What a helpful and dedicated seller. Good price, well packed, and lots of helpful information and advice. Hope this was not the last time. Holger
