Here's a photo of my Stumpy that I purchased in late '05 - it's an '04 model year bike, that I've since uprgraded with XT Dual Control brifters mated to XT Hydro brakes. Wonderful bike with great handling and I love the shifters !. And yes that was a Brroks, since replaced with a Specialized Alias

I also just built up a '91 Fuji Pro steel mt. bike frame with assorted parts, as a non-suspended bike. Rides nicely though doesn't steer as quick as the Stumpy. I just this week added a used Judy SL fork that my LBS sold me for $50 and that also works very well. I do like the acceleration of the no rear suspension bike as well as the lighter weight, but do get more fatigued on the steel.
