'84 - 87 ish on age most likely
not enough information to give an accurate value --- what kind of tubing is it and what model is it ? --- I cant clearly read the script on the top tube ---
value between 75 bucks and 125 bucks maybe ----- the bullmoose bars are cool, but i see cheap details on the bike (cheap shifters, seat and post , etc. --- makes me wonder what kind of other parts it has hung off of it ---
I had thought that Stumpjumpers were in general , normally fitted with better grade components - if its a Stumpy

Neat bike ! -- I'd still guess maybe 150 bucks tops -- I googled the bike and apparently they were 87 and 88. Judging from the pics i saw, most had a sakae riser stem and riser bars, so the bullmoose bars may have been added to yours as well
I've never seen a "Street Stomper" before, but it looks like it kind of falls into the category of bikes that are sorta' rare, but not necessarilly too valuable -- and that one needs some tires factored in as well, which would be 50 bucks or so unless you catch a deal somewhere

$100 where I live in a mid size city in the midwest but the NYC market is very different. Nothing special about this bike but it will make a very stout city bike/commuter. I'd clean it up (esp. touch up the rust spots) and market it as the perfect "vintage" town bike. Start at some crazy price (maybe $300) and work your way down if it doesn't sell.

The rusted spokes on the front wheel are surprising, maybe it was a cheap replacement for the original wheel. Rust on the stem and seatpost bolts is a concern. With those problems, I'd start at $50, maybe going to the high range of prices mentioned if the seatpost and stem could be easily removed.

Front wheel looks like a replacement as the rim doesn't seem to match the back rim.
If you are buying for resale, it will never be worth much more than $100.
Rust on the seatpost & stem indicates steel. If these are stuck in a steel bike, they are easy to get out. Aluminum seatposts & stems stuck in steel bikes, not so much.
I love bikes like this. I don't know what it is, but something about when I ride my rigid MTB with bullmoose bars, makes me think that my bike can kick your bike's @ss.

It "clicks" so it must be close to '87. The street stomper was the bottom of the line ATB the years it was made. I am pretty sure they were not all chromoly but very likelt a tretubi cromo and Hiten stays and fork. I had one for a while and I don't think it even had a QR back wheel.
