Too kind... I definitely have a weakness for StumpJumpers (and RockHoppers, which also make great riders)... Here are a few others from my past and present collection: 1985 Blue Stumpy (repaint)http://www.flickr.com/photos/16461051@N04/sets/72157623574409014/ 1983 Tim Neenan

Wow, that is awesome! I'm already thinking about future color schemes and Atlantis blue/green is near the top but I'm also considering Legolas green. This Stumpjumper just pushed the Legolas green to the top. On Saturday, April 6, 2013 10:58:55 AM UTC-5, Philip Williamson wrote:

The early Stumps don't really have all that much in common with the Atlantis. Looong wheelbase and stays (well - not really long Long like the Appaloosa...) and canti brakes, but there they diverge. Those mountain bikes were mostly reworkings of the Schwinn Excelsior frames - the choice
