Have a Stumpjumper from that era that I put the finishing touches on about a week ago. Design's about the same as for the Rockhopper, but the CrMo is heat-treated and the frame's made in Japan. The thing nobody ever tells you about these bikes is how well they handle in singletrack. I learned that first hand when I had the bike out at Marsh Creek for shakedown.

I probably ought to post a few pictures of the thing for reference purposes.
