Haven't had the chance to give it a good blast off-road yet, but will do soon!

Thanks, everyone!

Yes, those colours are simply fab. My kids don't get it at all... "Daddy, why have you got two pink bikes now?"

It's currently wrapped in bubble-wrap as I've already had one small accident whilst moving another bike around it.

If the wife would allow, I'd hang it in the living room like someone else has done on the forum. That said, maybe just hanging in the garage would be the safest bet...

On that note, does anyone know how to go about getting hold of touch-up paint? I have two or three small chips on this one and quite a lot of chips and rubbed-off paint and decals on my 92 SJ Comp. I know Specialized don't do them anymore. Can motor-factors or car repair/spray shops match a colour?

Cheers!

Bloody Lovely.

Old Stumpjumpers are some of my fave bikes right now.
