Hey All,
Oooops, i now see the pics. The angles look right, along with the long
stays. Some of the parts are right, but some aren't quite the same as came
on my 84s. And I don't remember the sport coming in that blue. I think the
build kit says yours is an 86 Stumpjumper (non-sport). So
Hey David,
If you are takling to me then I'm sure I can tell if your bike is a sport.
They were unique and are easy to identify. Send me pics. Otherwise, please
ignore everything I just said.

Unbelievable effort. Someone had really scoped out the site, and must have
had serious cutting equipment. I've written down the serial numbers on our

has gotten a cosmetic make-over. Also recall Rivendell is

On Monday,
I struggle with cramps on brevets, no matter what I'm eating. I think it is
electrolyte related. Electrolyte tablets help but as heavily as I sweat, I need
to take in quite a bit of sodium to keep up. At least, I think that's the case.
Patrick, you mean you don't eat the entire day, unless it's
I don't take food with me on the ride and don't eat. I have an emergency
jar of coconut oil for if something unexpected happens. I often don't eat
breakfast, so I ride fasted from the start, then eat when I get home. I

the max safe tire width is about 43-45mm. Also, is there any
