Thanks, it’s under going a wheel rebuild at the moment - back to catalogue correct, but will be up for sale once they are back from the builders so I can make way for another

Very nice.
In the early nineties the rigid models from Specialized came with 1" steerers, while the suspension versions used 1 1/8".

Nope. Stock grips are Specialized AutoPilots.
I must update this thread as the above bike has been replaced!

This thread is in need of an update…
The Stumpjumper detailed in the thread is long gone…split and sold in parts, with the reason being that for a short while I had two…
An ad popped up for an almost immaculate example, 95% original/complete, and because I wasn’t particularly happy with the level of patina mine had, I couldn’t help but purchase a better example.
Only now have I had chance to give it a proper look at.
I’ve stripped it right down in order to clean every nook and cranny, replace old grease with new, install new cables and build back up.
It seems the only non original parts are the chain and cassette - both of which I’m sure I’ve got (once I check the spec). But everything else is there, right down to the ‘dork disc’ and wheel reflectors.
As seems to be the case with Stumpjumpers, the seatpost is ridiculously tight, and easily disfigured once inserted and removed, and even though this is very low mileage bike, I reckon I’ve taken ownership just in time to have prevented this post from being stuck.
Looking forward to completing giving this one a long overdue full service.

Everything is clean 
Couldn’t quite finish the build today, just need to order some new cable inners and a couple of toe-clip straps. It’s looking terrific
