Here's some more on the Specialized M2 Pro:
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...d04cf58f27.jpg Specialized had many Ritchey components on this bike, including a Ritchey Force Lite bar, Ritchey Logic pedals in red, and a Nitto\Ritchey seatpost. But over the years almost all of them were thrashed beyond repair. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...3eaefda983.jpg This is what sold me; a M950 Shimano XTR Rear Derailleur. The bike had an XTR rear mech and an XT Front mech that clamped on the seat tube. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...054c22009e.jpg Specialized had this great Son of Strong Arm Crankset, which I sold. Later, I found this M952 five arm XTR on eBay. I thought the five arm looked better. I learned a lot about this bike as well as myself, after changing so many components over the years. I'll probably never sell the bike, but being over 20 years old now (!!), it's getting harder to find good components for it. You know, I'm surprised there aren't that many talking about 90's Stumpjumpers. Maybe these photographs might change that. Thanks. |

Thank you, for the offer. But I am actually trying to sell some parts and framesets myself.

My current trail bikes, from oldest to newest.
Custom Curtlo softail, my first and favorite custom frame-built for 27.5 wheels when they were called 650b and there were only three tires and two forks to choose from. Ordered in 2008, received in 2009. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...3b4796ada4.jpg 2015 Santa Cruz 5010, my first carbon bike and favorite full suspension bike to date! (My 8th FS bike since my 1996 Proflex) On the RAMBA trails in Michigan's Upper Penninsula https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...725ccd1355.jpg And my Otso Voytek fatbike, my 2nd fat bike after my 2012 Mukluk and my 2nd carbon bike after the 5010.https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...35b4edda04.jpg |

Trek 4500 project. It was a gift, and it needed a lot of work. Before...
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...4cbb5df12.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...6c959b541.jpeg And After. Converted to a single speed MTB (I have added a chain tensioner since this pic). :thumb: |
Alright, new update on the DV9 and additions to the family. My wife didn't feel the Air 9 so my 17 y/o daughter snagged it, now my wife is on a 2018 Orbea Loki H10 (It's an H-LTD++ after I upgraded it, lol)
DV9 went from GX Eagle to XX1 Eagle, 2 wheelsets for trails and gravel/road and Sram Code RSC brakes 180mm F/R, CB Stamp 11 pedals, Ergon GA3 grips in red, Chris King Headset, Industry 9 40mm red stem and changed the teal color to red (Looks red/orange, close enough) https://i.imgur.com/llZNFru.jpg https://i.imgur.com/3P3EHLK.jpg https://i.imgur.com/3GgZC3U.jpg https://i.imgur.com/0Xc3z9X.jpg https://i.imgur.com/mOA6J6s.jpg https://i.imgur.com/2W0bWpH.jpg Wife's Loki got GX Eagle drivetrain upgrade (from Shimano SLX i think), Code RSC brakes 180mm F/R, 760mm CF handlebars, CB Stamp 5 pedals, Ergon GA3 grips in blue and an industry 9 40mm blue stem. https://i.imgur.com/FkqpZfO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/N4dobPM.jpg https://i.imgur.com/IxbFCXK.jpg https://i.imgur.com/NEdqKXc.jpg |
^ I usually think the gold of XX1 is too bling, but with the black, white and red it looks great! Nice job [MENTION=499516]HyBr1D[/MENTION]

Wow everyone! I just got a 2018 Trek Fuel EX 29 and need to personalize it a bit since it looks too generic, this is good inspiration.

lovely bike I have been eying s works and stumpjumpers for years on ebay but the ones I have seen were often in bad shape and with a lot of dings and scratches, also I am not sure that it would be the most comfortable ride for me. Are the wheels 27.5??
