(swap the bars to boscos, add fenders, brooks saddle, basket+racks, schwalbe fat tires). done deal for easily under $600.
Bosco bars are $70 All new cables/housing and grips $40 Fenders $50 Brooks saddle $120 basket $20 Racks $100 - $300 Schwalbe fat tires $90 If you are a bike mechanic and pay yourself $0 then you just need to find that complete Stumpjumper for easily under $100 to keep the project easily under $600. If you are not a bike mechanic and need to pay for labor, then you need to find somebody to pay you to take their Stumpjumper.
