Differences between an 01 Stumpy and newer
I am looking at some used bikes. Is the 20001 Stumpjumper the equivalent of the more recent ones in terms of frame quality? The bike has a SID Hydra Air fork. Is it a nice fork compared to the FOX that the new ones come with? Thanks, Bob.

Throw the stick!!!!
The 2001 SIDs were known to be flexy forks, not nearly as stiff as a new Fox. They are great race forks for lighter riders however that is their limit. They are by no means an "all-mountain" fork.

The old Stumps were significantly lighter IIRC. If you're not a heavy person or a hard rider, I'd say it's worth considering the '01.
