I've recently acquired a '92 Stumpjumper FS, soon to not be an FS:
Fork, headset, stem, all gone (those proto-Rock Shox only provided like 10mm of travel anyways, plus have weird measurements) -- so I'm basically starting from scratch! Maybe you can help?
The idea: 3" tires on the front wheel (that I'd like to build up, so in need of rim/spokes/hub), disc brakes with 160mm rotors on a chunky new fork up front, atop which will sit a huge front rack; minimal-length 1 1/8" threadless stem with low-riser BMX style bars; single chainring/single-speed crankset up front, with nice wide pedals; 10 speed (or whatever, honestly) in back with 2.35" tires; and a seatpost to put a saddle on. Whew.
I'm excited!
