Very nice! Really appreciate you putting all the part info up on the screen as you go through the builds 👍🏻

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Thank you! And thanks for the feedback! Great to hear when the extra effort is being appreciated 🙏

[@WB-ng7xk]

This beauty is the base you'd want to start with for amazing ride quality & I must say the finished product looks prime! Maxxis DTH & Schwalbe Billy Bonkers are usually my go-to's for vintage builds with Schwalbe's being a little more supple but probably won't last as long as the Maxxis but anyway great build & cool parts selection.

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Thank you very much! 💚

[@SparklingINsilencE]

Awesome job, watching these videos is becoming therapeutic for me 😄

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Thank you, great to hear! And don't worry, more therapy is on its way! 😉

[@8drbdned]

Great work! Inspired me to get going with my SPECIALIZED HARDROCK '89

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Thank you! Happy to hear that! What color is yours?

[@Traildude193]

Sick build looks 🔥 keep up the great builds

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Thank you very much! And not to worry - got another Stumpjumper build on the way ;)

[@purpletrance9874]

That looks sick with the black, subtle colour accents and oil slick components! 👍👌😎 I feel very inspired to build an old Specialized now. Luckily I've just bought a 93 Rockhopper Expert, ripe for a resto 🤓

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Thank you! Spent a lot of time planning this build, so it's nice to hear! Awesome! Sounds like a great project. What color scheme ist it?

[@adrechsel]

Toller Build. Bin auch großer Fan von Oilslick.

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Dankeschön! Ja, ich auch, sieht aber leider auch schnell "drüber" aus mit den ganzen Farben. Aber hier musste es einfach sein! 💖😎

[@BrettG64]

Very nice conversion. Some time ago I did pretty much the same exact thing with a '96 Gary Fisher Mamba. I love the way it rides. Well done and great video.

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Thank you! Yes, same here! Super comfortable and agile at the same time

[@molasdesigns7737]

Sooo cool !

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Thank you! 💖

Nice. I too lusted after this bike after first seeing it in the catalog. But these days I find myself leaning more toward the regular 1989 Stumpjumper, in either the burgundy/cream like my Sirrus road bike, or the green/magenta. Now, far be it for me to critique someone who obviously knows more about building bikes than I do, but when running shift cables for these old under the downtube cable runs, I like to run the rear shift cable to the left side, the front cable too the right, and then cross them under the downtube. I find it makes for a smoother, less extreme bend in the cable housing, and I like the way it looks as well.

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Yes, really not a bad design to choose from in the '88 / '89 color schemes! Thank you very much for watching and the feedback. Might resort to that in the future 👍

[@fixiecorner]

Sick build bro! 😍 The effort that you put into building it is amazing! 💪🏻

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it! 💚🙌

[@luizfernando-ko4gi]

Incrível!! Vou usar essa idéia de cores na minha caloi cruiser. Claro que peças diferentes pq aqui no Brasil está tudo muito caro com este governo!!

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Glad you like it! Enjoy your build! 💪

[@BrettFosterDotNet]

dang. that is a thing of beauty! I have two questions. what are the greases you are using and what torque settings are you using on the stem?

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Thank you! It's MucOff Copper Compound and Cyclus Lagerfett. 7NM on this one

[@the2mig]

Very nice quality build, good attention to detail. I do wonder though. Why go through all that trouble, finding suitable specialized parts and other time period correct parts, cantilever brakes, and then throw on a dropbar with new shifters on. Why not either go full original restoration or a drop bar restomod with more modern componts. Just wondering..

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Thank you! To your question: The main reason we build these bikes is sustainability. So we try and reuse as many vintage components as possible and add new components where it's necessary to achieve the desired look and functionality. In this case, the customer chose these bars and we then sourced suitable brake/shift levers that would work with the old XT parts

[@novakowsky]

What is the quill stem adapter you have used in this buid? I have been looking for one just like that for ages.

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Well, the short answer is that I don't know... 😅 I ordered adapters from different wholesalers a while back to try out different ones, and this one seems to have been removed from their lineup since then

[@novakowsky]

@@bottoncino_bicycles Thanks so much for your reply, even though seems like im a dead end once more :D If anyone knows any 1 1/8 adapters that are that long, i would appreciate any pointers.

[@romanzanier]

what adapter do you use for the stem? and how does it work if you want to remove it if? do you need ro take out the headsetclaw and then unscrew the quill adapter?

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Unfortunately, I ordered this part from a wholesaler a while back to try out and don't recall which one it was. Yes, you would need to remove the claw first, before you can remove the stem. Not a setup that I would go for on a customer build, but I just really wanted that top cap on there! 😅

[@monkeybike1]

Top build, dude. Loving the sinister fully blacked out vibe

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Thanks a lot! 🙌 Pink never looked so mean, am I right?! 😈

[@kennykendall5709]

Cool and funky build!

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Thank you! 💖🙌

[@Xanderino]

Hell yeah! 🖤💕

Thanks!

[@caseypleasant1922]

Really clean bike

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Thank you! 💖

[@garywee3100]

Thanks for the vid. may i ask whats the spoke length diff for rear non drive and drive side?

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Thanks for watching! In this case here it was just 1 mm

[@garywee3100]

@@bottoncino_bicycles Thank mate!

[@mattyfrommacc1554]

I started my MTB career when this was released in 1989, a dream build back then, and now, I would have gone for more of a classic original feel, with some chrome/ stainless steel & polished aluminium components, with Deore XT thumbies which also support 8-speed SIS and friction, but it is your build and we all have our own preferences, lovely bike then, and now!

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

That's right, #yourbikeyourrules 🙌 Thank you for watching and leaving a comment 💚

[@johnsheetz6639]

Sweet beautiful baby Jesus, she's in great shape! Old mountain bikes are in super high demand now you can still get them cheap but decent sized frames are unicorns. The used market expected to be 5'3.

[@bottoncino_bicycles]

Sure is! 😊

[@haqitman]

Really cool build! What size is that quill stem adapter and where did you get it? I've been looking for one like that for a while and i just keep finding the 150mm size. I'd like to bring the stack up more.
