Hello, do any of the Specialized knowledge-bots on here know which model stumpy had both top tube cable stops (but without rear bridge hangar??) and the noodle guide for the rear brake cable?

Thanks Mark, believe it or not, i had a good look through all of those, inspecting all the frames, but couldn't see any with a rear cable stop/ noodle combo

I must admit to enjoying that a bit, specializeds' california always looked so seductive in the 90's

Is that pink one the Comp with turquoise decals?

Re:

it might be reminding you of the 1991 comp, 1994 colours were green or red (roughly speaking)

Re: stumpjumper years

Hi, I hope this info can narrow down your search a bit.

I bought what I believe is a stumpjumper date stamped 1990 on the bottom bracket shell in green (making it a 91 model?). I'm in process of trying to confirm that it is a stumpjumper as it's been resprayed.

I have owned since new the burgundy sj date stamped 1992 on the bb shell (making that one a 93 model?)

See the pics attached, and hopefully it may narrow down your search, good luck.

Yes I was thinking of the 92 pink one (that i had one of on here for an age.

Yours looked more pinky on my phone in the bad light here, now on a computer i can see that's the 94 burgundy clearly. Lovely. Do like 94's.

Sorry to waste your time.

Re:

I'm sorry to tell you this but when i was researching my old stumpy i was told that Specialized serial numbers are totally random and have no date indicators :?
You can roughly date it by the size of the headset and seat tube.

Re:

Oh, right. I was going on info I'd read on forums with the serial numbers. Is there a guideline with dating sj's?
Or is it just a case of studying the catalogues and finding the closest match?
