I had been looking for an old XL Stumpjumper to cruise around with my daughter. I finally picked up this '89 fresh out of a police auction that lived a hard life.
Some TLC, old parts, and new and she has a second lease on life. Any thoughts on a decent/cheap rack or basket option for the front? What else?
Still a work in progress, but trying to keep her out of trouble. So fun to ride, it's like a grown up kids bike now. See tags on second pic 😂🚨🚔

its even got an ankle monitor 😞
Nice find. I searched for a about a year for one of these bikes that was in bad shape but the previous owner found the parts to get it close to original. I have been on the fence about repainting it and getting new stickers.

Hey, I’ve got the same one. Had it for a couple years now. The tange prestige tubing rides fantastic. It’s legit my favorite bike in my stable.
