Yes, so I've heard... Truth is I've given up alcohol for 2015, so I'd have to watch someone else drink it (which would be tragic)... oh well. And there's something to be said about preserving a classic bike in its native setting... I own a mint condition '85 Stumpy Sport that I picked up last y

Hah! It's bad enough I just pulled the trigger on a '83 (first year) Bianchi Grizzly that was begging for a good home... Fortunately Santa Rosa is 3000 miles away... I think I'm reasonably safe, unless my friend who works in Santa Rosa grabs it and insists on shipping it eastward. Hey, a Stump

I had an '87 Stumpy Comp, last year of lugged frames, Toyo built. It was also the 1st year of Norba geomtry ( 71/73). Mine had a custom biplane fork. Nice bike but IMO 26" wheels are terrible for serious off road compared to 29ers. https://www.flickr.com/photos/37347002@N05/7089294979/in/s

[RBW] Re: Wow, I mean, just wow

not so much of a wow these days, as they show up from time to time and the geometry kinda stinks ( relative to what you can get today)... but in 1982 for those of us old enough to ride this size bike... that was way more than wow... it was like a whole new world opening up. ~mike Carlsbad Ca.

[RBW] Re: Wow, I mean, just wow

Actually these initial batches were TIG-welded (apparently to fulfill production obligations while the Tim Neenan-designed frame lugs were being cast). Note the plain Stumpjumper lettering on this frame. I always regarded the lugged Stumpies as a big improvement over these early TIG models, but

[RBW] Re: Wow, I mean, just wow

Price seems reasonable to me as long as everything listed is true. If I was an early MTB collector and had just a bit more disposable income, I wouldn't bat an eye at paying that price for that bike. On Wednesday, January 7, 2015 12:49:35 PM UTC-6, Christopher Chen wrote: > > Not Rivvy, but

Not lugged. Possibly brazed. And ovalized seat tube. Very much like the Ritchey bikes. I won't comment on price. To the right person it might be fair. The seller does have "or best offer" . Always loved the lines of the early mountain bikes. Not in the market for one. Most of those early bikes tha

Those $100 water bottle could not comprise an exhibit at a cycling museum, by any stretch. That Stumpjumper could comprise an exhibit at a cycling museum. I'm not in the market for museum exhibits, but still. On Wednesday, January 7, 2015 10:49:35 AM UTC-8, Christopher Chen wrote: > > Not Rivv
