Part Diary, Part Technical Manual, Part Tips & Tricks
For the past few months I have been thinking about getting an 'original' mountain bike. Living in the Bay Area, the birthplace of mountain biking, I think about all the original guys riding around Mt. Tam on the bikes they had pieced together. The Stumpjumper is regarded as the first production mountain bike that was available to the general consumer, so I thought it would be interesting to get one. Forget the 9 speed shifters, the carbon fiber frames, the 6 inches of suspension travel - I wanted to experience the unadulterated seminal ride.

After finding a few on craigslist, I came across one that was my size and all original. So I go check out the bike in El Cerrito, rode it around the block and bought it on May 13, 2008. Putting it in back of the car, I noticed it sure was heavy! The Sport ($500) is the cheaper version of the original Stumpjumper ($750). I'm not really too sure what the exact differences are, the frame and tubing seems to be the same, probably cheaper components. Looking at resources online, the 'original' components on these bikes vary quite a bit, so I really don't know what to think. All I know is that when disassembling the bike, it sure seemed like this is how the bike left the shop.
6/13/2010 - Since the original Avocet Gel saddle cover was torn, I bought a period correct Avocet Racer saddle from eBay. Now it looks much nicer.
9/23/2016 - After sitting in storage for many years, I decided to bring it home and ride it around a bit. Took it for a loop around Water Dog Lake and it rode quite well.
9/28/2016 - Sold the bike today to a really sweet gal in SF. She plan on converting it into a Rivendell inspired townie.
