Up for sale is an incredible piece of mountain biking history: a 1982/1983 Specialized Stumpjumper in its iconic satin silver finish. This is a remarkably well-preserved "survivor" that has been cherished and well-maintained for over 40 years. This particular frame (Serial #AJ346040) features the highly desirable "Bi-Plane" crown fork, found only on the earliest production models. This bike represents the dawn of the mountain bike era and is a must-have for any serious vintage cycling collection. Mechanical Specifications & Features • Frame: TIG-welded/Lugged Japanese 4130 Chromoly Steel (Hand-built quality). • Fork: Original Lugged "Bi-Plane" Crown (Straight and true). • Crankset: Period-correct Sugino AT (Aero Tour) Triple – The gold standard of early 80s MTB cranks. • Drivetrain: Suntour MounTech rear derailleur and front derailleur. Original thumb shifters. • Cockpit: Original integrated Bullmoose / Sling-shot handlebars with massive Tomaselli-style levers. • Pedals: Original Shimano Flat Bmx Pedals • Saddle: Original Avocet Touring I in fair-good condition. • Brakes: Original cantilever brakes with period-correct pads. Condition Report This bike is in amazing condition for its age. While it shows honest signs of use—commensurate with a 40-year-old vintage machine—it has clearly been well taken care of and stored indoors. • Paint: The silver finish retains a great luster with minimal scuffs. Decals are largely intact and crisp. • Mechanical: Shifting is smooth and the braking is firm. The Sugino AT crankset is in beautiful shape. • Wear: No major dents, dings, or structural issues. Minor surface patina consistent with light use. Shipping & Handling The bike will be partially disassembled and professionally packed to ensure safe transit. I recommend a basic tune-up/safety check before hitting the trails, as the grease and components are vintage.
