KHS Montana Comp 1993

Ha, funny. Where did you buy your Stumpjumper? I ended up getting mine from The Bike Cellar on West 4th (Vancouver), after spending innumerable hours at pretty much any local bike shop I could get to comparing bikes. The KHS was at Breakaway Bikes in Ambleside (W.Van).

In retrospect I'm amazed how accommodating the people at Bike Cellar were with 13 year old me's requests. I asked if they could swap out the stock grips with ATI Newtrons, stock brake pads with Aztecs, and the LX brakes themselves with DiaCompe 987s - they said yes to all that, at no extra cost. And the bike was on post-Christmas sale...

You know - I can't remember where I bought it now. I test rode the KHS at the Bike Cellar and I feel that I may have bought the StumpJumper there as well. I recall Mountain and Beach carrying specialized as well at that time. I lived in Dunbar so Dunbar Cycles was my main LBS, but they were a Marin store back then.
