The old Stumpjumper is back to "red"
After seeing some of the great bikes here on RRB, I was inspired to clean up and repaint
my used to be "goto" bike, an old Stumpjumper that i've had for over 30 years.
Beside the red paint,(Rustoleum) (it was red when I got it) it also got a new front wheel,
a matching used rear wheel, regeared casette, and the biggest change of all is the bars.
After 30 years of insisting on flat bars, mounted high, i changed to a common bar with
2 1/2" rise and angled back.
My wrists started to get sore with the flats, the angle seems to help.
Still my best rider, as it is the most responsive to the limited power I have to pedal with.
