WHERE ARE THEY NOW......?

[sinnerman]

You Know when your looking through old mags, or your here and an image of a bike catches your eye, or like me the bike becomes a reference for you on a project...?,

I just fell in love with this bike and wonder where it might be now...? (See below.)

But I also wondered about you guys, do you have a poster bike, one you'd love and wonder where you might find one..?

If so, show it here, I do love a great pic, and who knows what it might uncover.......?

Yep. This one’s been ongoing since the late 80s when I couldn’t find one so bought a 1988 model (which I still have).

1987 Stumpjumper Team. Yes, it’s a Specialized, yes it was there in a thousand catalogue pics - but the 87 Teams were built by Dave Tesch. He and Specialized reportedly had an agreement/order that he couldn’t fulfill. And so they are hyper rare. Two I’ve found evidence for: 1. The catalogue bike. 2. A fuzzy pic of one that was apparently stolen from a guy in the US.

(There must be at least another out there - it’s the only bike left that I hanker after - have a look, cash waiting - over there behind the Studebaker project, next to the broken chainsaw, under that old tarp - no the yellow one ……)
