Just your size too ..bargain!

Size is just an illusion! It's only about 4 inches too small, it'll grow into me.

Picked up this beauty a few weeks ago from a nice old lady;
even with all the dust it looks ok

A trio of Stumpjumpers, from the 93 Tange Prestige, through the 96 M2 metal matrix to the M4 2003, ten years of Stumpies. Three sizes too, 16", 19" and 21".

Which is the fav?

 

[winjohn]

For looks, the 93 but it's too small to ride. The M2 rides nicely with its rigid forks for tarmac and smooth tracks but the M4 with discs and Fox forks is a beast off road and fits me really nicely.
Anyone want to swap a 20 inch Tange frame for a 16 incher?

The 93 is indeed a looker with the thinner tubes and that rich cherry red colour makes it even more so

New project for me. 1995 (?) S Works steel. Lovely old Ti stem and bars. I’ve still got a few bits to sort and collect for it. Will chuck up a build thread once I am a bit further along with it.

My '92 Stumpjumper steel.

Custom made Ritchey Fork. Scott AT-3 cut bars, Control Tech Stem, 987 Brakes, Suntour XP Pr cranks.

Bought it second hand in a pawn shop in mid 1996 for $200.xx CDN. It was completely stock at that time.

Have had a ton of adventures on her, commuted on her for years.

Still have it.

Shots taken on a camping trip back in May 2004.

Specialized M2 Team Edition (Metal Matrix Composite) One of the most rewarding refurbs I ever did - some lucky blighter got it of me on ebay - as I had to put it up for sale after finishing it because the pandemic hit and work pay got effected for over a year. Would have been a lovely one to keep as it was like new again once it came back and I fitted the stickers again. The idea was to rebuild it as close as possible to the team spec. bikes - to include Suntour running gear and the Zoom stem that the team bikes ran due to the various sponsors they had back int the day. Legendary Specialized that rode great even the rigid alloy fork suited it a treat. Another ex-bike of mine missed. Someone hung it on the wall down in the West Country I believe - he must have been over the moon with it when the box arrived - I would have been
