A Long Time Ago, In A Garage Not So Far, Far Away.... 1991 Specialized Stumpjumper Comp - Over Three Decades Under A Blanket!!

I had 1 of those as my 3rd mtb. this looks like a proper time warp immaculate condition! those red valve caps might be an indication of AirB latex innertubes, i'd recommend removing those if you want to ride it, they didnt have a great rep when new!

I briefly dabbled with AirB latex tubes back in the day…. But thanks for the heads up

I guess it is ok enough. Tyre logo is not centered with valve....only joking

That is absolutely amazing condition. I have known people who could've damaged it just by draping a blanket over it!

+1 for ditching the AirB tubes.

Jaw status = dropped.

I have never been a fan of Specialized, never desired to own one. Just my own view, I always gravitated to other brands and as a result I don't care for them, frankly.

But...

That is beyond awesome. Absolutely beautiful time capsule. Anyone, even me, would be proud to have that in their collection. Great find!

That’s a wonderful find. Takes me right back to specific moments in the 90s. It look wonderful…an how did it smell?

…I was walking down Piccadilly to a meeting last month and in the Lotus shop there was …. A 49B. And so I went in to wonder at it and whilst the patina and chrome and alloy were all evocative and incredible it was the smell which excited my memory….

Wow, that really is time warp condition.

How long is that stem?!

150mm
