Did yours have the triangular handlebars on it? I think that's what it might have come with originally. I have also seen one stumpjumper that was converted to a SS before, with a chain tensioner. It looks pretty slick.
Thanks, this is helpful info esp. the 26-in wheels. Yup, it has the triangle bars. It also has a lugged frame. The rear der is trashed but the front der and crankset look good. I think a set of 26-in wheels, a SS hub with a chain tensioner, a set of brake cables and she's ready for commuting duty...
