I have a 58.5 cm '87 lugged Stumpjumper that is similar to the Bomba too. Mine has 70d HA, 73d SA and a custom Pacenti crown 55mm rake fork. It's so nice riding that it's moved up in my bike collection from it's original intention as a townie to a rough road/ touring ride. Next on the agenda is to convert it to 650B once I find a decent wheelset. Pics of the beauty. http://www.flickr.com/photos/37347002@N05/7089294979/in/photostream
