So, here's what I did to this. It's my first ever restomod – something I don't usually do, but wanted an everyday commuter with a long-distance touring vibe. Apart from the stem length/height (still deciding), and the overlong brake cable, and racks ...this is now finished. All new parts on a 1989 Stumpjumper frame, bought off eBay pre-pandemic. Resprayed by Aurum, decals by Velocals. And credit where credit's due, I took inspiration for the braking department from @ectoplasmosis beautiful 91 Stumpjumper Comp build https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1991-stumpjumper-comp-nos-frame-fork.421954/. I'd planned on a modern Grafton set-up.
