I’ve finished building up this ‘86 Stumpjumper. Took it on a shakedown ride to day to start off the new year.
I found it on marketplace this summer. Seat post was fully stuck and needed to be dissolved.
Rear hub was cracked in half and the rear derailleur was broken.
It was probably not a smart purchase but IT WAS MY SIZE.

that’s a nice setup, I have a large Nalgene and was considering getting a larger bottle cage. Looks great on your bike.
Did you have a shop do the powder coat? How much was it? I have a Surly Pacer I got recently that I want to powder coat.
so fresh, so clean
That’s very nice. Thanx for posting.
The stamped seat stay is sick. And that stem is timeless. Very cool.
One of my dream frames, nice job
So…..did you ride across the creek? People wanna know.
Love the orange. A restoration full of care and detail. Way to go 👏🏼
