ummmmm yea.
mtn bikes are typically thousands of bucks, depending on how good the parts are. some forks alone cost a thousand bucks, so, yea. i'd say its a good deal.

it was a good deal, too good. i typicaly spend 1200-1500 on my bikes and i think you may have been short changed on parts, they may have changed out the good parts for some bad shit. or the person that sold it was real stupid

haha yea thats what i was thinking... you might wanna get the bike checked out if you dont know much about mountain bikes and wanna ride it... i've got a feeling somethings not right if you got it for 80 bucks.

That's a pretty damn good deal considering they're making a version of the stumpjumper now that goes for $4,000 or some ridiculous figure like that. I'm not much of a specialized fan, but the stumpjumper's definitely a good bike.

Holy shit 80$ for a stumpjumper if I was as crazy into xc as my friend I'd probably shit my self. Anyways you deffinaly got a steal on that bike, they run up in price range of 2000-3000$. Good job.

Just remember that as a Specialized owner you are required to shave your legs and know the weight of each part of your bike down to the gram.
