Hi everyone,
I have what I'm reasonably sure is a 1982 Stumpjumper Sport frame, but it's one of the smaller ones in 17" size - though it does take 26" wheels and not 24". I bought it about 15 years ago with the idea of restoring but I haven't - probably because it'll be too small for me and I've moved on from the point where I buy old bikes just to have them - I just don't have the space any more.
The frame has been stripped in preparation for painting and there are no issues with either the frame or biplane fork. The paint was pretty beaten up and I'd planned to paint it blue, but that never happened. I only have a couple of photos, attached below. The frame is currently in Aberystwyth but is in a box ready to go.
I think I have the headset and bottom bracket that came fitted but can't say for certain that they were the originals. If I dig them out then I'll include them.
£100 collected but postage is possible. If anyone's interested then grab it before I change my mind yet again!
Cheers,
Gareth.
