Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Pro M5

Just bought the frame & forks recently and started to finally build up my bike . Still a few parts to buy ( front mech etc ) but should come along nicely. Hoping to have a lime green colour scheme going on soon ( stem , skewers seat post and grips ) . Been out on it on some local trials and rides like a machine. Very happy with it!

Nice photo montage.

A mean, elegant, looking bike; will be interesting to see photos of the improvements.

Bet it’s a nice ride.

Beautiful colour and nice photos too! What camera did you use for those?

Ross_Davidson

Sorry for the late reply people! Cheers for the comments As for changing the bike...... I'm not dramatically changing the bike, just the stem now...... And i used a 500D with Canon 50mm 1.8 lens.

Just ordered lime green 50mm stem which should arrive tomorrow..... Hopefully should look sweet( if so seat post clamp , skewers and grips are to follow to give it finished touch) . Ill a new picture tomorrow

Finally my stem and handlebars arrived in the post today!! Went for the 65mm stem with 700mm width handlebars to give me a bit more width/control. Next up some skewers and seapost clamp. I shall upload a closer look at stem later on when i have time. ( p.s sorry about rear flat tyre....)

1st ride out today.....dusty trials and amazing views followed by flowing single track = perfection. Shame i didn't bring my camera along for the ride. Anyway took one when i came back ( NO MUD ON MY BIKE ) . New Chainset and skewers soon me thinks. Any other ideas people have will be great!! P.S anybody want to buy my skewers before i post in sales bit ( Hope blue pair ) for £17. Next time I'm up the mountain ill take some snaps

I've been looking at Stumpys recently and want one even more now!

Some updated pics of my Specialized on local trials ( North Wales ) & updated photos of new parts i have purchased over recent weeks/months ( Stem, Skewers and grips ) . Near enough finished now apart from an XT chain set which i need to fit and some new tyres ( Any good priced deals atm would be helpful. Looking for 2.1/2.2 ) . Went out today on the bike only to snap my chain which I'm pretty gutted about Anyway here is the link to my updated photos and todays ride

Thought i would spoil myself this week, so decided to buy some biking gear. Ended up buying some new SPD Mavic MTB shoes, Continental Mountain King 2.2 ( lost tread in others ) , Shimano XTR chain ( other snapped ) and some other bits and bobs. Fitted them all today. Bike is near enough completed now. Just chainset to buy and fit, then all ready for 7 Stanes Scotland ! ! !

I really like this shot - http://flic.kr/p/cvMmB1 excellent composition, good idea of the steepness of the trail, nicely lit.
