2 stumpjumpers

I've made progress on the two stumpjumpers (an '88 and a '92) that I've been working on. I've had the '88 for a while now and I had set it up as a drop bar commuter. But I really wanted an MTB drop bar gravel bike and the '88 wasn't going to cut it for me with its chain stay u brake. Plus it's on the heavy side. I finished rebuilding the '88 as a flat bar commuter. I made progress on the '92 which I'm going to build as a drop bar gravel bike. It came to me in a sad condition. The frame was sound and the parts were good but the frame had seen a lot of rough handling and it had a lot of dirt that was hard to deal with. So I took care of the rust issues and did a 2 part paint job with flat white rustoleum as a primer and a yellow model paint (an OK match) to cover up the white. It looks pretty good at maybe 10 ft but functionally the paint job is now sound.
