Stumpjumper was first made in 1981. It was the first production mountain bike. Before that the first bikes were custom made in Marin county and Palo Alto.
@@mixflip That 2010 looks like a nice clean bike. I would love to find one around here, but MANY of them burned up in the Rogue Valley Oregon fires a couple weeks back...along with cars/trucks so bikes and motor vehicles are very scarce now.
@@spektr540hemi Im sorry to hear that. I have family in Salem and West Linn Oregon. The fires are such a kick in the gut....especially with all the other things that are going on in the US.
@@mixflip Yes sir. Before the dang bike trail was built, my friends and I could ride along the river, i had a Yamaha 125 Enduro. I couldn't buy a motocross bike then didn't have my AMA card, yet. We could holster/carry a .22 cal, Lov My Henry...and then local Leos wouldnt blink an eye. A few times, my friend Dennis had a ffew too many Mickeys one day..the cops back then would take us home, and with a laugh, would say, "don't let this happen again". And over the years, my folks kept telling me to learn to appreciate these days. I didn't give it a second thought....boy was i wrong. I still ride from Watt - Folsom Lake, jump in and try and remember the good ole days.
@@gregormiller4037 I know right.....we always think things are bad when we are young.....then 20 years later we realize....I guess it wasn't so bad lol. I used to leave home on my BMX bike in the am....ride with my friends all day until sundown....no cell phones....no courtesy phone call to my parents where I was. They raised me the best they could and I guess they just prayed I made good choices as a teen running around in the 80's. I didn't die or go to jail so I guess they did something right. I would never let my 13 year old do today what I did back then. Maybe that's part of the problem though???????????
Nice bro. I have an early 2000's Specialized Enduro FSR. Used to ride alot but had a bad accident so not so much anymore. Great bike, great components and I hope to ride mine again someday. Too fat for it now so maybe an e-bike in the future.
Glad to see you Battle.. Remember I said stooopid shyte about getting my wife a Espresso Machine with OT... When Ca Magazine Freedom Week II came out? I actually cried about it ... These fires in California (El Dorado/Bobcat fire is what I've been working with our Strike Team with OCFA in Southern Ca) had me actually weep when I remembered I commented about that. We lost a USFS Firefighter (stupid baby reveal fire!) and many people died (26!) and countless homes/ranches and livestock, pets and wild animals. After our fellow firefighter died, I couldn't anymore... I had to let it go and my coworkers understood to let it go and leave me alone (they knew I'm a vet of this current war we're in too and lost quite a few battle buddies). I never in my life regretted anything I've ever said... I'm sorry about. I was going to delete it, I decided that's it's a good reminder not to jinx yourself... Good upload Battle,
@@mixflip Thanks, I'm at the station and I saw your notification come up. I usually stay off the net at work but I've been so down about saying that... We worked El Dorado too. Since Sept 8 we've been working those fires.. Our Team is to rotate for the next one... People think urban/city fire fighters don't work those fires but all counties have Strike Teams. Most of these guys started out in Forestry. Thanks Battle. It's great to get encouragement..
@@on2wheels378 I used to be an industrial firefighter for Tesoro Refinery in the 00's so I can relate to a certain degree.

Nice bike! I have a Cannondale 8 series aluminum M400 that I bought back in 1993. All I do is tune it up and replace tires and parts as they ware out. I installed a wider seat, makes a lot more comfortable when I ride. Oh yea, I even have saddlebags for when the wife and I go riding in the woods. Carry lunch and extra water and first aid kit. Enjoy!
mixflip, got it on sale at the PX in Germany! I think I payed $160.00! But yes it was an expensive back in the day. Mountain bikes were big in Germany at that time.
I have one like yours ( 2209 ) the only thing you have to do is converting her into a 1x , add a dropper post and service the bike ( lubrication , adjustment and retorque all the bolts ) the rest is riding and enjoying her .
Wow, nice. I still ride an old, and I do mean OLD mountain bike I bought new in 86. A Schwinn High Sierra. Doesn't have any dampening, but she's held up all these years. Bought the wife a Specialized Mountain Bike the next year in 87 that had front fork shocks and a shock in the seat post if I recall. She road it ONCE! 🤣
I bought my wife an old trek mtb I found at the goodwill for $100. Tuned it up and it rides like a brand new bike. I even put bmx handlebar bars so its easier to cruise the neighborhood with the kids. She loves it. Leaning over wasn't fun.
👍👍👍 Awesome bike! Just the Fuji saddle makes it a bit less awesome, like a BMW steering wheel on a Porsche! You’re right though, just be happy if you have a bike! Still pedalling my burnt orange 2011 Trek Cobia 29er.
Lol...the 2010 original seat was shredded....so I just slapped on a cushy seat for a fat ass....oh so soft!!!!! Im going to take a black sharpie to the FUJI letters now haha.
Right before the Covid Pandemic hit, I got a Specialized Fat Boy, and have since added a few other Gems to the Collection (To include a couple of E-Bikes).. It has been great getting out! Used Bike prices have been Crazy here locally.
@@mixflip I paid too much for a Mongoose Ripsaw that I purchased on FB Marketplace specifically to do a Mid Drive build. E-Bikes are perfect for those of us that like Gadgets/Tech..
@@mixflip I have a couple of Dolomites in ym storage unit as we speak.. Was going to do the Mid Drive on one of those, but started seeing what people are paying for them used and decided to use the Ripsaw instead, the Ripsaw is a GREAT riding bike. Not a great Trail bike, but for my morning rides and rides on the beach it is Perfect.
The is the number one reason to have kids. So you can give them your old stuff and have a perfect excuse to buy new stuff.
Absolutely! When my son got his black belt he casually mentioned something about a Traxxas slash 4x4 RC car......I got it the next day....I mean I got it for him the next day. lol
I just bought this frame off marketplace, pretty bike, Hella stoked to build it😊

Wow...81. Thanks
My first new mountainbike was an '89 Stumjumper. Great bike. Miss it.
Edit- It was an '88.
My 1st expensive bike that I bought with my own money was a stump jumper that I bought in D.C. in 1990. I paid $600!!!!!! in 1990! I miss it too.

Very nice Specialized bike i use to have a lot of bikes
From Trek to a Cannondale but my favorite was my Giant nice video i enjoyed it. 👍👍
I saw an older Giant NRS suspension MTB for sale and was tempted to buy it for my wife?

That is a nice bike. Got one strapped to the back of my rig right now. Not as nice as that one one but the tires hold air and it rolls.
Right now just having any bike at all is good.

Very good stuff man
Thanks for watching
Plenty of bikes in Washington... come up here.
Yeah they are rebounding ow but back in May it was a ghost town in most stores for $300 level bikes.
Oh man I used to have that bike! That's a 2010. Beat the hell out of it.
I would love to get the new Specialized Turbo Levo with the mid drive motor!

Nice ride 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Don't forget to lube the fork and shock
same in hawaii. sold 2 of my bikes so I could upgrade.
What did you buy?
@@mixflip specialized tarmac sl7 pro. still waiting for it too.
I have one like that nice bike
Nice bike. I ride a Trek .
I have a trek too. Its old but still a great bike.
You just need to service this bike since the design are the same for todays bike…
I have a TREK 4300 but the seat is a real crotch killer so I haven't ridden it much.
I found a blue trek 4300 at the goodwill in carson city nevada for $100. Tuned it up and it rides like new now.
@@mixflip that's a helluva deal! 😎👍
Nice stolen bike you bought there.
The guy selling it had a $60,000 Ford F350 dually with $20,,000 in welding equipment in the bed....i hope he enjoys the $600 he made.
