SunTour XC II, either "braced" or "unbraced" I went for my yearly vaccation with an 88 RockHopper equipped with those pedals. No complains. :xmas-wink:

Re: 1988 Stumpjumper "Team" - Updated: 26/08/13 - Page 3 Was this frame built by Mark DiNucci?

Yep, same here; beautiful frame and paint job but the modern stuff doesn´t do justice to the old beauty.

This is not a german bike shop sticker, it seems to be a norwegian kind of bicycle registration service sticker, a way to repel potential bike thieves. Nice bike - i hope it goes to someone who really appreciates it.

edit: fingers were too quick. :wink:

First real ride, 1988 Spesh RockHopper comp:

They´re made by Dualco, Houston, Texas. And Dualco has also a model in their portfolio which has a long nozzle, that is much more useful.

Re: The Last One Wasn't The Last.. (Cannondale Content) Absolutely loving it, those vivid colours, the large 22" frame, gorgeous! :xmas-cool:

I think, that´s a little bit from the tales and myths. :wink: There was discussion on german forums when Mr. Rohloff decided to drop the chain production and afaik they stopped it due to the overwhelming varieties of different chain widths and specifications that were introduced with 9speed and...

Nice bikes, but maybe you and your missus should swap them. 22" should fit you much better than her. :xmas-big-grin:

My ´88 RockHopper has a 26.6 mm seat post and it fits snug or "saugend" as we say over here.

Finished some weeks ago:

Don´t swap them for wildgrippers, they can easily reach 200-300 bucks in the bay, the umma gumma rubber is even more rare... check this auction: http://www.ebay.de/itm/SPECIALIZED-GROU ... true&rt=nc

The toothpaste/abrasive paste approach is worth a try, but only if the pitting hasn´t gone too deep beneath the surface of the cups (this might be the case if the bike/hubs has/have been stored under wet conditions and wasn´t/weren´t ridden that often). If you have the opportunity to get the...

The SunTour Superbe (?) pedal with modded cage and fitted GreaseGuard nozzle is pretty cool. ...no, wait.....the whole bike looks cool.

Quoted for emphasis. And to drop an additional bit of info; afaik the SunTour Shifters for the rear derailleur have no "7-speed - 8-speed" switchable option, only a marking "[7][8]f - [7][8]index" (letters Index not printed). 7speed SunTour cassettes can be controled by 8speed shifters with no...

Absolutely stunning paint job.

Yep, it´s the old MTB standard 25,4 mm. The "Cannondale 285" stem was part of the oem equipment of the 1991 C´dale SM 2000.

Thank you very much! I forgot to ad a specs list, so here we go: Specialized RockHopper comp, 1988 frame: Specialized RockHopper comp, 21,5”, Tange Chrome-Molybdän, double butted, paint scheme Ivory/Too Blue fork: Specialized DirectDrive, 1” head set: Tange Seiki, steel stem: Cannondale “285”...

Today i went out for the first ride. Suntour shifters work with no problems together with the Shimano HG50 cassette. Maybe thicker grips (Tioga Biogrip preferably) but overall i´m very pleased with how the bike performs. :D The whole process of rebuilding the bike can be viewed in the thread in...
