Is this a Specialized stumpjumper?? Now with frame number

[twain]

worth a shot, but at least try to get more info out of it first.
its all pointing toward not being as advertised, so best tread carefully - don't want the seller making it more difficult for you.

be polite as it may be a genuine mistake out of a lack of knowledge.
but build a case for yourself that'll make it an 'open and shut' one if needs be
its a shame you've started to figure this out at this point

Yeah I'll not go in all guns blazing, did message him asking when/ why the paint and decals were removed so well see what reply I get.

Other than the seat stay brake guide it looks like a stumpy M2. Seat stay guide throws me off makes me think its something else.

 

[trxrincon]

Well it might be, I will get the serial number up as soon as possible and hope we can figure it out if it is or what it is from there.

 

[trxrincon]

Right he's just messaged me the frame number. ME501309ME. Anyone have any ideas??

 

[trxrincon]

Anyone can help?

I don't think that's a Stump. It has top tube cable routing, and a canti cable stop. Stumpies had a canti cable stop mounted on the seatpost bolt, not on the frame

 

[trxrincon]

Ah right not looking good then, may end up splitting her.... Shame as I wanted a stumpy build. :evil: :evil:

It looks like another one of those generic Taiwanese aluminium frames, the sort of thing Merlin (the shop) and others used to sell.
