Stumpjumper 1989

[retep52]

Hello all! My name is Peter, and since a year or so more into mountainbiking... With a bunch of guys we ride approx. 2 or 3 times a week something like 50 kilometers and on occasions some tours... Lots of fun!!

Earlier this year I bought myself a SJ29" and I thought it was fun to have a really old SJ beside of that... And last week I was able to buy myself this SJ '89! Quite old, and it has its marks but boy oh boy, it rides so smoothly, I didn't expect that at all!

What I am looking for are original tyres, stem and steer, and saddle... Would anyone of you know some shop, site or whatever to look for such stuf? Many thanks!

Peter

No problem
I have the previous years Stumpy in the same colours. Just needs decals to finish.
Member Jamis Diablo recently picked-up exactly the same as yours.
