Barn-find Stumpjumper……from our own barn
 

Ever sort of forget about a bike? Doing a little clean up at our getaway before winter and ran across this old Stumpjumper I stashed in our barn over 10 years ago. I bought it at a bike swap for my wife but she never really took to it, preferring her full suspension bike. It’s a sweet bike, guessing it’s a 1991 or so issue. I brought it out into the daylight for first time in 10 years, pumped up the original Ground Control tires, and took it for a one-mile ride out to our gate and back. Everything works and the small frame is fun. Put it away for now but, seeing other recent threads about Stumpy restorations, this would be an easy easy clean-up project for this winter.

Might be a fun bike around here next year

Have fun getting it dirty again!

Nice, original bike and I agree, it's a '91. Check your serial number to confirm.
