Howdy All;
Looooong thread here with some incredible builds. Making a return to biking after about a half century give or take a few years.
Before I found this thread I found a 1995 Stumpjumper FS on C/L. Bought it, paid to much even with the shipping from NE Ga. to
SW N.M. included. But that's ok, got something I liked the looks of. "Know Your Bike" had this information;
https://knowyourbike.com/specialized...jumper-fs/1995
The following show it is fairly well used but just right for a Re-do.
Hope I get this photo thing right... These are the C/L pix
This is the 19" seat tube frame and it looks like the TT is close to 23" long.
I'm one of the short legged long torso types so I may have lucked out ... from what I've been reading.
The front forks were deflated when it arrived. As I live in an RV my storage space is about nil. Old parts ...
non existent. LBS is 65 miles away (Las Cruces, N.M.),and the bike is there right now getting a full once-over
from the folks there. I have a LHT front fork on order for it and am unsure what the prognosis is for the
Rock Shox Mag 21front fork. I may rebuild it myself or haul it to the local CO-OP (Silver City, N.M.). I'm not bad
at mechanics, did aircraft and my own vehicles since the 1960's. But figured I'd let the experienced eyes of
the shop folks do it's initial check-up.
I would appreciate any thoughts and suggestions that y'all might feel would be helpful and if ya don't seem
to mind a new fella to ask some questions I'd be grateful.
Thanks,
hank
