Sutmpjumper upgrade to disk brakes?
What do you guys think about buying a Specialized Stumpjumper, bringing in my own Avid BB7 disc brakes and having them installed when I buy the bike? Besides saving a few bucks (~$60) I would have an extra pair of V-Brakes... The only difference b/t the Stumpjumper and Stumpjumper disc is the BB7 brakes and the paint color. The base stumpjumper has identical components even the hubs. I can get the BB7s for around $140 for both and Specialized charges $200-
Check it out:
