Not at all. I view that as more of a runaround and there's no way I'd want to get rowdy on a 30+ year old bike even if it is totally safe to do so. Just don't trust it in the same way that I'd trust a new bike.
I also wanted a bike with drops. I don't really get on with flat bars for very long. I also want to make my Stumpjumper more sit up and beg than it is currently.
I think you will hate me for saying this, but do you worry that the stump jumper is ultimately the better more authentic bike, that is best suited to how you want to ride now?
