1998 Specialized Stumpjumper m2 fork?
I picked up a decent framset at a sale recently but it has no fork. The frame is really light. I am thinking i want to use a rigid fork. Does anyone know of a rigid inch and 1/8 fork that would work with this? I assume it has to have a suspension offset to allow the geometry to be correct. Id like to build it up as a nice all-arounder.

if you want to do some of the legwork of this to make this question easier for other people to answer, go and look up what forks were available on this bike. Look specifically at how much travel they had. That will let people know what to recommend in terms of forklifts.

According to bicycle bluebook...
It originally had a suspended fork. I forget which one, but seraching bicyclebluebook.com for that model will tell you the OEM fork brand and model. I also just picked up one of these incomplete as a project bike. Good luck!

98 Stumpjumper FSR
My 98 Stumpjumper has a Judy SL suspension front fork. That being said , yesterday I was riding and the left fork tube adjustable cap flew off and not to be found. Does anyone know where to buy one? I have searched the web without success.
Thanks,.

Old thread, but to be definitive - 1998 Stumpjumpers had Answer Manitou forks. I have one in my garage. They had been using Judy forks through 1997.
It might not make sense to use one of these frames with a rigid fork. They were extremely stiff (light too), and even with the Manitou I feel every pebble through the back wheel.

I found the fork cap in Seattle off an old frontend!! I cut a 3/8 long piece of 1/2 inch hard sprinkler riser for the spring spacer that goes on the bottom of the spring, Like brand new now. I actually spaced both springs the same!!
My 98 Stumpjumper came with Judy Suspension!!
Thanks
