From The Workshop: Stumpjumper Upgrade

There’s something special about giving a cool retro frame a new lease on life.

This classic Specialized Stumpjumper came through the workshop recently, and with a few choice build selections, it’s now riding better than ever. One of the biggest changes? A fresh Shimano CUES groupset.

Built around Shimano’s new LINKGLIDE technology, CUES is a system that offers up to three times the durability of traditional drivetrains, making it a great option for commuters, gravel riders, retro MTB builds, and anyone who just wants a bike that works beautifully day after day.

For this build, it was the perfect match: modern performance without losing the character of the original bike.

If you’ve got an old MTB collecting dust, don’t write it off just yet. Contact us here, and we can start planning how to transform your ride!
