1992 Specialized Stumpjumper. Found mostly stock (except for tires and sticky grips). Converted to "dad's bike" for when we visit the in-laws.

I like that:
-it's one of the few if not the only Stumpjumper with eyelets for racks
-the original catalogue said it could accommodate 2.5" tires. Not so sure about that, but it can accept 2.25" tires and mudguards easily, not bad for an early 90's bike...

Spec had their own 2.5" tyre, the Ground Control More Extreme. Not sure if it was a true 2.5" tyre but not what we see as 2.5" tyres nowadays. They weren't lying though.

This is my "custom built" Specialized Rockhopper.
I started from the naked frame e built it with parts I saved from the bin and repaired/restored and many parts donated by @ibbz.
This is the detailed thread of my built:

This is a treat under Kew bridge in all its glory.
Please forgive the blue water bottle...

Probably a 1992 S Works in disguise

Hmmm, green, that won’t look good when it’s a few years old!

I've had this Stumpjumper for over 30 years, but can't remember if it's a 1990, 1991, or 1992 model.

Can anyone help me identify the model year? It's still all original, aside from the seat and grips. (I don't recall if I replaced the seat post or not.)

1991 going by the spec sheet and design, but surpised that yours has thumbies rather then the STI - did you ask specifically for those at the time?

That's a lovely Stumpy, with a great story. As for the age, check your Shimano. They stamped date codes on the back of absolutely everything. Here's the chart to decipher the code:

91 same as mine, came with thumbies
