For all you Specialized Experts..

[Sithlord]

Well the P20 is nearly done, and with the next project on the way.

I want to track down a bike I had BITD, a Specialized 'Team' Stumpjumper, The colour I seem to recall was white and grey, I am sure it had XT components on it, must have been in the early 90's , seem to remember it was a prestige frameset, it had rigid forks too .. I know its not a lot to go on, but can anyone identify it ?

It would be even better know of anyone who has one for sale or could be persuaded to sell

TIA

1988 Team was white and grey. White at the front, grey at the back.

Thanks ... Wu that sounds like it, however I have just had a look at the specs of the grey/white one of that year and apparently it had 'browning' on and mine did'nt and also specs a 'u' brake on the rear, and I am sure mine had XT canti's fr and rear... ?

The team in 1991 :

fullsuntour xc groupset .

in 1990 , the top end was white with red decals and was xt equipped with a u brake .

in 1992 , no team either , the top end was pink with xt groupset .

i think they were 2 colours before 1990 .

Stumpy

In -late '91 I got a '91 Team Stumpjumper as my 2nd mtb (upgrading from a '88 Saracen Trekker) At the time we were in awe of this bike as it appeared a lot in MBUKs of the era , ridden by Sophie Brookes...

In '92 there was a lower spec Stumpy that was grey , and spec'd with DX & a 1st gen Rock Shox

But I think the model your thinking of could be the earlier '89-90 version: maybe as featured as a 'super bike' in a MBUK feature where Mike Newton (i tihink) rode it around Lanzarote i think someone is bound to have scanned that...

that was mainly US spec. I had the same white/grey with pink & orange decals & that too had standard seatstay mounted cantis & standard XT f.mech for UK market
the same bike was featured in a US clothing advert, company called "switchbacks"

Few corrections:
In '90 (at least according to a German version of '90 catalog), the top end Stumpy was a Team in black with XC Pro groupset and cantis in the rear. Only the Epics had U-brakes under the chainstays.

In '92 the top end Stumpy was a Pro in seagreen/aquamarine with XC Pro MD groupset.

92 Top Stumpy

I thought the 92 steel green /blue Stumpy with Suntour XC Pro was the S-works steel????
