Hello all,
I have a quick question for the Stumpjumper experts...
Could you please tell me which Nitto riser bar came stock with the Stumpjumper "Putterhead" quill stem on a standard model Stumpjumper?
I recently volunteered to take on a small 1983 Stumpjumper Sport, a family member bought it new while attending college in San Diego. The Stumpjuimper has sat neglected in a garage minus a handlebar for the past twenty years. The bike is in stock condition minus the original tires, chain, housing, and grips. No one can recall the where and why the handlebar went missing. The bar and stem combination was ordered special, my cousin thought the Bullmoose bars were ugly, and being he was a BMX racer he wanted the versatility of changing out the bars. The end result being this particular Stumpjumper Sport was ordered with the standard Stumpjumper bar and stem set up instead of the stock Bullmoose bars. The vintage BMX bars pictured on the bike were the only bars available that would fit the 22.2 clamp on the Nitto "Putterhead" stem. I'm really impressed with the micro-adjust rear drop outs on the Sport model versus the vertical drops on the standard that I'm more familiar with. I had a 1982 Stumpjumper that I picked up a few years ago, that bike had the same bar and stem set up, so I have an idea what I'm after but I don't know the correct Nitto model number. Unfortunately, I traded that bike away in a package deal, otherwise I'd know what I was after and I wouldn't take up forum space asking for a part number.
Any Stumpjumper experts that know what model Nitto riser bar that came with the Nitto "Putterhead" quill stem?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Cheers,
-D-
p.s. The first photo is my '82 with the Nitto bar and stem set up that I'm trying complete, the other photos are the '83 Sport.
