New From Arizona - Found this Bike in a dumpster!
Hey everybody,
My name is Joe and I am from Lake Havasu City AZ. I recently found a vintage Specialized Stumpjumper in the dumpster. This bike has renewed my childhood love for biking. I have no doubt this forum is going to help me considerably. I am going to ask for help - but have to hit the 10 comments first. (:

I'd like to keep it stock.
I think I am going to have to replace:
That's where I am with it right now.
I think I am going to have to replace:
- Cables (very stiff)
- Sprockets (teeth worn down and broken)
- Chain
- Shifters and Deraileurs (nothing feels right when shifting)
That's where I am with it right now.

Is it a freewheel or cassette?
