Do I want a 2010 S-Works Stumpjumper FSR? YES!
I've been riding and racing a 2008 Stumpy FSR Pro for almost 2 years and love it. Here's a picture of my baby:
That bike rocks; it's proven to me time and time again that I am the weak link in our relationship, but it inspires me and gives me confidence to ride harder and farther and faster than I used to think I was capable of.
BUT, Specialized has taken the Stumpy in a new direction. From what I've read there's a lot to love about the new design. The bike is lighter yet has more travel and comes with a significant component upgrade. Would I forsake my current bike for the new one? I don't know. I think I'd ride both. Granted my old Rockhopper hasn't seen the trails since I got my Stumpjumper (other than when I take someone with me), but until I have a chance to ride the new one I don't know how it would handle the trails I often ride. Which one would be better at Sac, Busiek, Chubb, or Castlewood? I can't say.
I do know I'd race the new ride though. Everything points to it being a screamer and I'd love to find out.
So, people of Specialized; if you're reading my humble blog please feel free to look around and check out my other posts. Would I pimp the new Stumpy? Yes. Would there be anything wrong with that? No. Am I a tool? Possibly.
