For sale: 1982 Specialized Stumpjumper – First Production MTB

SOLD

Up for sale is my 1982 Stumpjumper Frameset with original paint. Previous owner imported it from MOMBAT: Museum of Mountain Bike Art & Technology.

I always planned on building it up as a fairly period-correct klunker, but I’ve been looking at it for five years now so I’d love to see it with someone who will ride it. It could be built up as a lovely town bike, too.

Top tube is 60 ctc. Seat tube is 58 ctc. Sold to me as an XL.

£175 collected from E17. I would prefer not to post.

Hi very interested in this! Will dm

SOLD

£175 for that?!! Fuck me. Bargain of the year.

I agree, but it’s been hard to find the right buyer when I’ve put it up before.

It’s apparently the first production mountainbike that emerged from the Klunker scene. So a piece of history.

Did you not try RetroBike? Pretty sure you’d have had your arm bitten off at that price.

My first mtb was a Stumpy. I bought it back from California back in 1984, it cost me a bloody fortune back then, what with shipping and taxes, around £800. Of course I rode it like mad and sold it on when mountainbikes really started to progress component-wise, and I bought an early Fisher. Still regret it.

I wasn’t trying to make money with this sale. Just cover costs and move it on. This isn’t far off market value, but I agree it’s worth more.

Very nice for someone. Just been sorting some stuff and found my Stumpjumper book, which has a picture of this and the spec. I have had a few Stumpjumper’s over the years , and would have loved this but alas too many bikes really.

Couple of pics .
