They may be the Ford Mondeo of the MTB world, and therefore considered to be a bit dull by the STW herd, but there must be LOADS of them out there. How come we rarely see any foties?
Here's my '05 model to get us going

Is the S-works version(frameset) the Jaguar X-type of the bike world then?

The Revs had gone back for warranty in the last one
My 2005 Stumpy, I think the frame and handlebars are the only original parts left on it. Great bike, even if it does look like a 5 bar gate with wheels.

james, where do the cambelts go on the S-works mechano kit? 😉
HA HA....I thought they looked like cambelts too!
reckon thefallguys is the best looking so far. Mine is looking distinctly antique!! 🙂
[img] 
[/img]
Esmerelda!
Pretty much unchanged, apart from the wheels which were replaced with old ones after nipple problems with the others!
Love the S-Works assembly kit piccie 🙂
here are some of my lovely Stumpy...

ALL MOUNTAIN MODE

I thought all mountain was where you rode up the mountain as well as down ? ..
I ride up em if there isnt a lovely lift, see XC mode... 🙂
I'm assuming that is the lift toward Morzine from Les Gets? (It looks similar), so I'm just as guilty

nice bikes. how much hammer can they take? compared to something like an orange 5?
They're mostly 120mm (older ones being less), so on that basis less hammer than a 5, but its a four bar so ought to be a bit more effective (overall) than oranges single pivot? I'm guessing now
Where are all the 08/09 Stumpjumper FSRs? The ones with the vertically mounted shock?
getting used for what it was meant

I've got an 😆 08, love it and they do take alot of 'abuse' in their stride. Can't do the linky thing on my phone
Please can I play even though mine is XC not Stumpy? Thank you.

I love my bike. A nice person told me recently it was a classic 🙂
MrCrushrider.....mine has got just under 100mm on the back, whereas the newer ones have 120mm....
Mine has been ridden round heaps of trail centres, round Thetford regularly, spent a week in Spain getting some abuse (had to swap forks to some Bombers as my Judys puked their oil out on the 2nd day) and dropped (literally) off some rocky switchback edges.
It's still going strong.
Mate of mine went to Spain with me on an Orange Sub5. He rode more of the techy bits, but he's better at riding that stuff so even on my bike he'd have probably managed it.
I keep thinking of getting a new bike (well, not while I'm looking for a new job) - but the Stumpjumper keeps going......
I might get something like a Zesty when I get a new job and keep my Stumpjumper as a race/marathon bike.......get some light bits on it and keep riding it.

i loved that bike and did everything on it. It's in bits in my garage at the moment

Love that bike, not much remains from the original (including the frame, replaced under warranty), just the stem, rear shock and oddly the front wheel!
Here's mine:

Well, it was last year. Now my wife rides it.
Cheers

Mine's the red one 2006 S-Works Carbon - Mondeo indeed
[img] 
[/img]
I've got a 2006 (bought) Stumpjumper 120 frame for sale if anybody is interested?
here's mine......freshly built from ebay bits
[img] 
[/img]
Very smart any2wheels - forks 130?
yes thats right talas rlc 130.....ebay 150
stevethebarbarian, any2wheels bike looks even better in the flesh, made mine look very sad and tired the other weekend...
Brilliant buy. Same as on my Soul - got those from US for £300. Didn't think I'd use talas feature, now I don't want none adjustable forks again. Damned if I know when to use the compression feature though. Your bike's looking great.
and mine, i like the red tyres, so some don't!!!

Still amazed that we've not seen many new style Stumpys with the vertical shock. Are STW forumites to "cool" for those?
or just too tight to buy one
SeanOrange - size, price and pics if you can.
There's one thing, everyone seems to be enjoying them.
Brand new 09 'Expert', picked up yesterday

the thing is, they do everything you need a bike to do, done a few races over Beastway and Summitt MTB in the chilterns, admittedly not very fast, my local tracks around Essex and with the addition of DH High Rollers, 200mm discs, spent 5 days in Les Gets, a very good all rounder.
