“Stumpjumper” frame - or is it ?

[Repacker]

Definitely resprayed, but the seat stay rack eyelets were a Rockhopper not a Stumpjumper feature by the time Specializeds had the cable noodle.

Yep, probably a Rockhopper looking at it with those rack eyelets. With those rear dropouts it's probably '93-'96

well...

they cant all be fake!

Ahh.. but I think the OP was referring to the mounts on the seatstays and not the dropouts

As an aside, is that Team frame the one on Ebay being sold for squillions?

I’m the eBay seller of that frame. I was just going by the name decaled on the downtube. As soon as I discovered it might not be a Stumpjumper, I pulled the listing. I’ve been told that if I include some more detailed photos, some knowledgeable folk here, might be able to ID model and year? With the respray of this frame, the frame number isn’t easily read, but I believe it’s: P 436356

Looks like a 1995 RockHopper.

Could you provide accurate measurements of the frame too?
Seat tube - centre to centre then centre to top
Top Tube - centre to centre
The weight of the frame and forks might help too.

These could all be used by the groups in these forums to compare with our / other Rockhoppers and Stumpys of that era to help narrow this down.

By the mid 90s the Stumpjumper serial numbers began with the two digits of the year rather than a letter. Not sure if this was the same for Rockhoppers.

I think judging by the fact it's got a threaded steerer and rack mounts, it's more likely to be a rockhopper.

Stumpjumpers were threadless at that point and shouldn't have rack mounts
