Specialized Stumpjumpers and Rockhoppers were and are great bikes.
For what type of riding do you plan to use it? These bikes, with some street tires, make excellent commuter bikes. If it's for off-road, you will likely be stuck using knobbies all the time (which kills the knobs) or need a second set of wheels or tires.
