Hi thanks for your message. Yep the nitanium Stumpie is a great bike. In particular I find the V brakes and the rapid-fire changer just superb, and the bike has become my regular 2-wheel transport. I bought it off the local gumtree round here, if another one comes up for sale locally I’ll give...

M7IH83738 PN844673 PW816700 Hey many thanks for posting up your nitanium frame numbers, much appreciated. Must admit I can’t make head or tail of the above list, guess we need the Bletchley guys for this. Possibly Ritchey allocated these frame id’s using their own internal manufacturing...

Hi folks many thanks for your feedback. Had a look through some of the late 90’s Specialized catalogues on RB, and the Ritchey nitanium frames are first mentioned in the 1998 catalogue under Stumpjumper, and Rockhopper comp FS. That was the last year of the steel Stumpies, however the...

Thanks Neko for all your work in posting up all this info on the M2 Stumpjumper. Good to get clarification and dates on a number of things e.g. seatpost size.

Great wheels. Quickly delivered. Nicely boxed. Many thanks.

Have just PM’d. Thank you.

Can I have these please? I’ll send you a PM.

Superb example … and it’s all good patina

Thanks a lot for the feedback & link slackboy and joepro, appreciated, yeah the seller (1st owner) told me the only change he’d made was the tyres. I asked him about the pedals, and he confirmed the bike was supplied new to him with flat VP pedals (not the Ritchey logic type). Perhaps Dales...

John O’Groats steel Stumpie: thanks for the link mk one.

I recently acquired this steel 1998 Specialized Stumpjumper from a local seller, who’d owned it from new. He’d bought it from Dales, long-established bike retailer in Glasgow. The seller explained that these days he’s into road and trail cycling, it wasn’t being used, so it had to go! An 18”...

Hi can I have these brakes pleeze? PM sent.

A really interesting thread, I’m a fan of these hydraulic rim brakes. The Magura HS33 were fitted to my Cannondale Furio, which I bought new back in 2005, as standard equipment. i’ve attached the original Magura instructions which came with the bike. Mine are the slightly later design with the...

No worries, thanks for getting back.

Hi can I buy one of your Karma bits? The Raleigh seatpost binder! (for my Raleigh Royale)

A really good rebuild saga, with all its attendant pics, thanks for posting all this up. And you’ve kept the original frame paintwork and patina, which was in good condition, a big plus. The highs and lows of bringing this MTB back from the brink make for an interesting read ( for me certainly! )

Thanks for getting back - appreciated.

Hi there you don’t happen to have a WTB (Wilderness Trail Bike) dust cap in your box of bits? Presta valve. Thanks. See pic. I got back from a cycle in the local hills a couple of weeks ago, discovered my front one had fallen off. Bike now looks unbalanced !!

Nice to see the old birthday present still in regular use today, a one-owner bike. 👍 Like yourself, my own Stumpjumper A1 FS is in regular use by myself (well maybe not up the mountains!). In fact it’s my only useable bike at the moment: the Hardrock has been lent out, and the suspension on the...

And a very nice original example it is too. 👍
