1985 pink
Specialized Team Stumpjumper
The iconic pink team Stumpjumper, the first production 'Team' racing mountain bike. Made from Tange double-butted Prestige tubing, it came with Shimano's original Deore group. This one's been completely upgraded.
Jim Merz, who was a framebuilder at Specialized and built the originals, filled me in on a couple of details, this bike is from the first batch and had narrower chainstays, so it was limited to 26x 1.95 tires. The later versions took wider MTB tires.
As you see it here, the bike weighs 23 lbs. Contact us for details.

We found this bike collecting dust for decades in an old garage upstate.
The original story with this model is that Schwinn, after generations of producing bikes out of Chicago, saw the international writing on the wall and contracted some imported models from Panasonic, high quality framebuilders in Japan but much cheaper to produce, back when Japan was what China is today.
It was meant to be a Paramount-level bike.
Hand-brazed, double-butted, 4130 cromoly steel, chrome plated head lugs, fork crown and front/rear fork ends, and heavy-duty forged Suntour GS horizontal dropouts with screw adjust.
But parts from 1973 were vastly inferior to what is available now. Alot has changed in almost 50 years so we have done a resto-mod with all current parts.
Lighter, faster, more efficient, more comfortable.
And more colorful.
In short a better riding experience.
