Classtime 

I'm re-entering after going over budget with a Jim Merz Allez (which worked out fine with the Allez moving into #2 road bike position by bumping another fine bike to CL). I grabbed a 1990 Stumpjumper for $40. It is not as cool as the other entrants pictured above but I always wanted one. The plan is to put no more than soap solvent and lube into this and hit the trails. So far, I saved the chain with some dual pliers action on the 9 or 10 frozen links. I hope to lube the cables without disconnecting them--the rear shifter cable is mess. How does that happen? I've been lucky with Rapidfire shifters but this front one might give me trouble. The tires look ok and maybe the tubes are still good.

Complete.

I think it will clean up nicely.

Deore DX all over.

It takes a bit of effort to frazzle a cable like that.

Fingers crossed they hold air or are patchable.
