I plan on refreshing /restoring it. Hopefully I will be able to get the original specs. Grey paint a bit patina... Have a handful of projects waiting to go.

Well I have done some research and it appears the bike is a 87/88 Raleigh Technium Carbon/Kevlar "The Vision", one step down from the top of the line "The Peak" which the main difference is Carbon/Kevlar bonded into chromoly vs aluminum. Anyone have any information or catalogs on bike or even...

So I was able to save this vintage mountain bike from the landfill. Hopefully someone can give me some additional information about it. The bike has XT 6-speed shifters, XT drive train minus the front derailleur which is a newer sram. The main tubes look almost like carbon? Does have the rear XT...

So this is where I am now

I have the 92' yellow standard Stumpjumper and measured it at 73x118 (UN51) The drive train is full DX 3x7.

Anyone have a lead one a stem adapter for 1-1/4" threaded quill to 1-1/8" A-Headset adapter?

So I am wanting to try converting an old mountain bike to a gravel bike. Some of my concerns include reach because going to gravel bars from flat will effect handling, and the second big concern is tire size. The two bikes I have to choose from are a 1992 Gary Fisher Sphinx 700c tires or a 1990...

Thanks for the the information! I have so little on this bike, hopefully a little bit more shows up. Most of what I want to know I will find out when I start to refurbish the bike. Things like rear hub spacing 126 or 135, guessing 135. I can easily measure and figure out the answer. Would love...

So I purchased this bike today off Craigslist. Older lady had it for sale with almost no background on the bike. Haven't been able to find much information about it on the internet. Originally thought it was a old MTB but right after I purchased it I realized it has 700c x 40c tires. Got it for...

Funny you would say silver cranks... I upgraded the cranks and now the chainrings are black as well as the hubs. Kinda feel the seatpost should also be black? Got a new Flight saddle on the way and it will show off the clamping mechanism, looks like I will upgrade just not sure yet to what...

Actually the bike came with silver house brand seatpost and stem, added the black stem thinking it would look better with the upgraded black headset? This got me thinking I now should upgrade the seatpost as well? I will say also that the hubs were silver and now they are also black.

So my current project is not about trying to make my 1992 Specialized Stumpjumper 100% original. I am trying to keep it period correct. Is there a unwritten rule on matching stem and seatpost? I have a black Tioga Tbone stem and the original silver seatpost. Was wondering how many of you would...

Took a picture if it helps

1988 Fisher Montare XT Red 20" Serial # 8G0275

This is great information, thanks for all the investigation into the axle to crown measurement. Also enjoy the new bike 🙂

Sorry figured out how to post pictures. Still hoping someone might know the axle to crown measurement. Thanks for any additional information.

Now you got me thinking it's maybe something other than a 1985 Stumpjumper Sport? Stickers say stumpjumper and sport. Has S in the top of the seat stay, has dear head derailleurs. I noticed that the S is not on the top curve of the forks? Does definitely have a U brake...

Here is what $40 got me this morning.

So I picked up a 1985 Stumpjumper Sport in need of restoration. The bike is missing (Not original) brake levers, shifters and wheelset. The groupset is Shimano Deer Head. Does anyone know if m733 brake levers will work with cantilever brakes and U-brake? I know the levers for cantilever and...

This is good information, thank you. Any idea on the axle to crown measurements?
