Cool! I miss bikes from that era. The design, colors and simplicity made them awesome. I've got a couple 00's Stumpjumpers and they keep my local trails sketchy. Thank you for the entertainment and keeping these classics rolling.
Wow, that frame is a dream… and in such good condition. I’m always amazed by the color combinations in your builds. BTW I’ve seen Park Tool recommend using thread locker instead of grease in the brake post mounts in their cantilever setup video series, and I had one screw come loose in one of my bikes the other day (I always used grease), so there may be some truth to it after all…
Nice build. I'm doing something similar with mine. I think it's a 91. Just did a cool matte red to matte electric purple fade and slowly assembling using a blend of original, used and new parts.
Beautiful bike...but I would have to drop the seat post a little and raise the handlebar stem...I find the "downhill look" a little uncomfortable...Keep up the great work!

Thanks! Well, it all comes down to personal preference. The customer wanted a regular shifter, so the thumb shifters went in the parts bin. #yourbikeyourrules 🙌
You are right on the top tube length in relation to the seat tube. If you check out the saddle height, we made sure to go for a small enough frame size to ensure a good riding position. The stem also has short reach and high rise, so should be all good 👍

Thank you very much! Interesting point you raise. Never had that issue, but will look into it. Appreciate the feedback!
Beautifull build
Thank you!

Thanks!
Very cool! So you repainted the frame? Color combo sounds 🔥!
My first mountain bike, which I still own. Apart from a bit of chainsuck damage to the paint on the chainstay, still in pretty good condition.
You own this same model? That is awesome! Hope it still gets to experience the outdoors from time to time 😎💕
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching!
Beautiful bike...but I would have to drop the seat post a little and raise the handlebar stem...I find the "downhill look" a little uncomfortable...Keep up the great work!
Thank you! And yes, #yourbikeyourrules 💚😉
Beautiful build, nicely done. Just needs some matching bottle cages!
Haha, yeah that would be cool! 👍

Thank you for taking the time to write such a long comment! I think it's great you are still out and about riding your bike! Be safe!
@@bottoncino_bicycles Your restomod videos inspired me to rebuild this machine and to ride again, thank you.
@@pierredussf That is so great to hear! Thank you for the feedback and have fun with your rebuild! 😊
Nice resto !
Did you do any paint touch ups on the pink ? If so, what did you use ?
Thank you! Nope, paint is 100% original
I would say a frame with intact paint even if it’s mate finish is great condition tbh.
If it's this old, for sure!
Don't forget to test ride the bike
👍
Beautiful build but you seriously ditched the 7s deore thumb shifter for a cheap ratchet one? Shame.
Thumb shifters rule!
Thanks! Well, it all comes down to personal preference. The customer wanted a regular shifter, so the thumb shifters went in the parts bin. #yourbikeyourrules 🙌
youll probably want a swept back riser bar on that bike only cause the top tube is so long on most 90s mountain bikes.
You are right on the top tube length in relation to the seat tube. If you check out the saddle height, we made sure to go for a small enough frame size to ensure a good riding position. The stem also has short reach and high rise, so should be all good 👍
The music is so annoying and completely unnecessary.
