No, my boss at the time decided we needed an early Stumpjumper for display in the shop, I saw this F+F on here and it went from there. He, armed with a spec list from Mombat, went on a mission for the parts. I don't want to know how much he spent but he was known for being impulsive and he was spending the shops money! I cleaned stuff and assembled it as it appeared. It went on display for a few years, a premises move and a switch to 95% Trek meant it suddenly had no place. I cheekily asked if I could have it and surprisingly my wish was granted! I don't use it really, get's out once a year or so just to say I have. It rides fine. It's a bit outside my real period of interest (93-97ish for retro). Nice to own though.Thanks for letting me know that your Stumpjumper frame and forks came from the Netherlands. Does this mean that the components aren't original to the bike, as many look to be age correct?
