New Retro Stumpie

[P20]

Someone was wishing for this the other day:

From STW:
Specialized are reissuing the original Stumpjumper too, complete with the original angles and a special plaque to commemorate the 25th year of the Stumpy. The limited edition bike has a nearly identical frame to the old, original bike, complete with chopper-relaxed angles. The bullmoose bars look authentic and the skinwall Ground Control tyres look great. There are even foam grips and four finger brake levers. Rather bizarrely it has XO shifters, which seem a little out of place. With the old school, crazy relaxed angles that it has, it's not like you're going to be that interested in cycling performance over looks. Some Paul's Components mounts with thumbies might have been better...

saw it earlier , shame about the XO .

 

[mh1000]

Are they bringing back proper Ground controls too?

There would surely be demand for them, from an army of retro bike owners

 

[plexus]

I must admit that the XO's are very nice......but indeed not on that bike.

 

[Agency_Scum]

XO? It's like yer granny in a miniskirt...

IT'S NOT RIGHT!!

ahhh..bullmoose bars , many a time I took out a tree with them - arm still attached :roll:

I suppose the thing that needs to be commented on is that with X0s fitted this one will be priced well into the thousands....

 

[scant]

specialized have been inundated with requests for the tyres. think retails is £1.1K- £1.3K, which IMHO is a lot!
