1983 Specialized Stumpjumper

Just scored this beauty off eBay. Totally original aprt from the tyres (anyone got any early Specialized CrossRoads going spare?).

Originally a gift to the boss of Santa Cruz Skateboard Co from Mike Sinyard himself. The Flame Decals on the top tube were fitted at the time. Looks to have led a very easy life. Looking forward to its arrival and giving it a run out.

There can't be many left in such good condition. Like finding a pristine Cambrian era fossil. Unusual to see such an old bike in such a usable size too!

Thats why I had to have it- they are usually like gates!

Anyone mind if I carefully remove the reflectors when it arrives?

that has clearly had an easy life. awesome

Seriously cool . I love the Sinyard/Santa Cruz boss connection.

It is nice to score an original bike in pristine condition, much like my Tufftax.

No, its not wrong to remove the reflectors. I have carefully removed the front, rear and wheel reflectors and bagged them up.

My Tufftrax is wearing pristine Specialized Crossroad 1.5's.......but sorry I cant give them up!

Enjoy it, and keep it mint.

That is a serious piece of MTB history, Looks stunning, The reflectors should be the least of your worries that front canti yoke being backwards would really get on my tits

You need to get one of them 25 year anniverary models to keep it company now that would be cool Linky below
