Very possibly may just be a stuck on item. I didn't want to try prying off as it is not mine yet. Having seen the '92 Pros I am gonna say no it is not. Basic deep black paint. Thanks. I do believe I shall go ahead with the trade. Again... not that I need it anyway.... and hell, already five...

Looking at the picture, that makes sense.

Am looking to trade my '94 Stumpjumper FS M2 frame for this at my local used parts shop. Toptube measures 22.5" which the Kona catalog suggests it is a 17" frame. Centre of BB to top of seattube measures 19" (17" to centre of TT) Serial: F1021959 Someone has added a cable guide to the top tube...

Those were nice entry level rides. And in the sizes they came in, them and the MT 10 offered shorter riders a bike shop bike. I seem to recall they also offered a full chromoly frame and fork option with lower end parts. Sad how many of the old companies are gone.

My '92 Stumpjumper steel. Custom made Ritchey Fork. Scott AT-3 cut bars, Control Tech Stem, 987 Brakes, Suntour XP Pr cranks. Bought it second hand in a pawn shop in mid 1996 for $200.xx CDN. It was completely stock at that time. Have had a ton of adventures on her, commuted on her for years...

Nicely done.

IMHO the DeKerf logo on the fork along with matching paint is a must do. Just my two cents.

Thank you all for the feedback. Have to love this site for the amazing community. Yes, I do believe in a week or so I'll see about grabbing a couple and giving them a go. Will update with pics and feedback once I get one installed and some miles on it.

Yeah Yeah Yeah, I know.... But IMHO it is way better than the Gavin Flexstem. I am finding these 55 year old wrists and hands (each wrist broken twice, each finger at last twice, most three times) are taking a beating with a rigid fork on my Ritchey. Pavement and hardpack groomed trails are...
