I should add - this was the same frame as the basic Stumpjumper of that year (the top two models being made out of Tange CroMo - viewtopic.php?t=158094). It does mean that it's ripe for a genuine Stumpjumper refurb if the Rockhopper isn't doing it for you.

Thanks - seems they were protected. Should be fine now. D'oh.

Feel a little odd doing this, but here we go. Selling my first 'proper' MTB frame and fork that I bought as a nipper from Colchester Cycle Stores back in 1990 (I sold my Raleigh Mustang to fund it). It's a 1989 Specialized Rockhopper with DirectDrive fork. It comes with the original Tange...

Re: Thanks Coomber - a little more than expected for the frame, to be honest! I was getting ready to skip it... I'll pop 'em both on here once I've got some semi-decent shots.

The good: I've got a 1997 Gary Fisher Paragon, made out of Easton's finest, with a set of Manitou SX Ti's attached. The SX Ti's haven't been serviced since I last used them (which was a while ago!) but are otherwise in great nick. The frame has all transfers present and correct and is rideable...

Having a bit of a clearout; photos of both tops here (and quite a lot of other stuff too): http://www.flickr.com/photos/pimpmaster ... 242881818/ To give you an idea of size, I'm a pretty regular medium - 38-40" chest, 5' 11" tall. Classic Castelli XXL green top. More like a L/XL - I normally...

I'm a little gooey after seeing all these in one place...

Haro Invert 1990 I've got an old 1990 Haro Invert that's eating space in my spare room. I'll probably strip it down (it's got Kneesaver Twos, Fusion Stem, WAL Riot twist-lace wheels (bent front axle, flat spot on rear), Graveyard pegs, GT Freestyle saddle, GT post, Xposure chainring (got the...

I probably bought something off you then Adamgent as I used to work on Farringdon Road.

£29 sounds fair to me...

Yours for postage should you want them! Failing that they are destined for t'bay and then the bin.

Sorry, just re-read my previous post and it's a little convoluted... Basically I was asking whether I should build it as a retro race bike to sell, or just sell the frame, fork and finishing kit. The decision has now been made though – there'll be a '97 Fisher Paragon F+F in the For Sale...

My XTs have lasted fine... But to be fair, they don't get an awful lot of use now.

I remember John Stevenson joking about the Campag sponsored riders using blacked-out XT mechs at the Worlds back in... Ooo... 1993ish.
