Hello All,
I've come across this site when researching my dad's old bike and exactly what year it is. He's had this sat in his garage for years (probably 20 years to be exact). He wants to get back into cycling now that I have bought another bike but this needs to go to a good home due to lack of space.
I've now worked out that its a 1988 Specialized Stumpjumper Team in Grey/Ivory finish with Orange and Pink decals. Its a 22inch frame (centre of BB to centre-ish of toptube).
It was never built up into a full bike as he got bored of riding after I sold mine as a teenager in the mid nineties but basically bought the frame secondhand to upgrade an old Diamond Back Axis when the Specialized was about 5 years old (which is where most of the parts came from). It has all been dry stored in his garage since then.
***UPDATE* Prices added, may be way out but had to get them on here before thread locked***
Brief spec:
Frame/Forks/BB/headset/seatpost as above, says 'Made in Japan' in very good condition for age. No real chips but chainstay has surface rust where chain will have slapped in the past. It has smooth welds with no flanges which makes me believe it is a later frame. SOLD
Wheels - Mavic Energy M7CD 26 on Deore DX hubs with shimano qr's to accept hyperglide cassette Note: These wheels are pretty much mint for age, no chips, no tarnishing to eyelets/nipples just minor brake wearing marks to sidewalls. REDUCED TO £50.00
Gears - Deore XT short cage rear mech/Deore LX front mech with mint XT 7 speed SIS thumb shifters. Prices Shifters £35, Rear Mech £20, Front mech £10. Rear mech SOLD, shifters SOLD, Front mech SOLD

There is also another earlier? Deore XT cantilever BR-M734 attached to the rear brake cable Right hand side of a pair, MORE DETAILED PHOTOS OF THESE ADDED TO PHOTOBUCKET SOLD
