Im in need of two rigid forks, one for a 1988 Fat Chance and the other a 1993 Yo Eddy. For the Fat Chance I'd like to find the original fork which is 1" threaded steerer, 26.4mm crown race and a 2" rake, but a Wicked or Kicker fork would work just as well for what I plan on doing. I'd love...

Re: If you happen to find someone that will only sell a pair, I will buy one of them. I also need a 32h M231 for a Yo Eddy I'm building.

I'm regretfully going to post this for sale locally to fund my new Yo Eddy I ordered and I'd like some help with a fair asking price. It's a 1992 S Works with nothing original other than the frame/fork. IIRC it has Tange Ultimate Ultralight tubing (they also offered a carbon version that...

Re: Yeah I saw that on ebay. Clearly not a real Team model. As far as the black one goes, I'm positive yours and mine are original paint. Maybe it was a factory option option 86 and there just weren't many sold that way. I have a hard time uploading pics here, shoot me an email at...

Re: Re: I actually wasn't referring to yours, but I did try to talk to you on MTBR a few weeks back about the bike. I'm 99.9999% sure that's original paint and there were not many made. From what I could gather, it's a late 1986 Model, one of the not so well known running changes specialized...

BINGO! I love my V brakes as much as the next guy but there's no denying that hydro discs are superior (other than setup/maintenance!). Good when wet or dry and can stop you on a dime, but the real advantage is the lever feel and modulation. Before discs you had stop or go, now we have that and...

Re: Re: Jimi,I bought the book "Stumpjumper: 25 years Of Mountain Biking" last week and it just came in the mail. Lots of good info and pictures of the Pink Team. According to the book, there were less than 500 of these bikes sold, about half as many as I was thinking. Obviously the serial...

Re: So I'm going to pick up another 85 or 86 Stumpjumper Team today in a couple hours. I'm really only getting it because it has the Tommaselli Racer brake levers i need to finish my pink Team and I'll more than likely sell it after I swap the levers. I'll get pics up in a bit but does anyone...

Having the wrinkles smoothed and painted still? When I was asking around for the Tommaselli levers locally I had a guy that lives 45 minutes from me offer a black Team, I think it's a 1986 to me for a decent price. All original minus the tires and it has the last part I need for my pink 85...

So what's it look Iike currently, you still haven't shown me any pics!

The only other thing that I can think of is the "1" was the original 85 Team design and the "7" is the updated Team with more clearance for the wider tires and made for the 86 model year. I've been posting in a few places hoping to find the last couple original parts I need (1.5" Specialized...

Re: Re: That's what I'm wondering. It'd make more sense if the 1 and 7 were designations for batch or something. They're all 6 digit numbers, that I'm aware of so far, so something made in October, November, December would be a 7 digit I assume and it doesn't make sense really. I'm guessing...

This is one that I'd like to pick up someday. I think I'd rebuild it with modern XT v brakes, a 1x11 speed XT M8000 drivetrain and ride the hell out of it!

I feel like a dummy now that I even thought for a minute mine was a 86. I should have known it was an 85 by the serial number since the other 8 or 9 1988-1996 stumpys I have or had all started with the first two numbers being the year. The new bikes aren't like that. It's kind of a shame that...

Re: Re: I really don't know to be fully honest. I'm just basing my guess on the previous Tange Prestige bikes I've had and the "japan" sticker on my pink Team. I've had 4 or 5 other Prestige frames and they were all made in Japan. My 91 steel S Works was also made in Japan but I'm not sure...

Re: Found (one of) my grails. 1986 Stumpjumper Team And these Teams were still made in Japan. I don't think they made any S Works or Team in the US until they made frames out of M2, and I think all M2 was made in USA. My 1993 M2 S Works is USA and so is my 1996 M2 Comp. My 1985 Team has a...

Re: Re: It's was wondering how they numbered the Teams because there's no way there are 7000+ of them, and certainly not many to be found online. I did email Specialized yesterday and they got back to me this morning. They don't have records dating back that far so they can't tell me an...

Re: Found (one of) my grails. 1986 Stumpjumper Team It's was actually trying to figure that out this morning and I think it may be a 1985. There's one on the Mombat website that is listed as a 1985 with serial number 857009 My serial number is much earlier at 851236 and clearance is tight...

Re: Re: It's going to be ridden occasionally but probably only on tar and gravel. I would die if I put a ding in the paint.

Re: Found (one of) my grails. 1986 Stumpjumper Team According to the receipt, if I'm reading it right, it's a medium at 20.5" They were made from 17.5" up to 22.5"
