Been riding all my life and started dirt in '82 when I lived @ Mammoth. Been in the bike industry since '86. Been all aspects of the IBD shop side to National/International AM and OE side so seen and thing or two. Have had the great honor of working with Sam Patterson (am in Sram), Felix Gimondi, Kelly McGregor, Joe Breeze, Peter Sagan and many others. Also just about every major PM in NA. Amazing the places life takes you.

@Ridebikes4ever:
Elastomer or Air?
I had serial #3 (elastomer).
The air ones “looked” beefy and in color options.

Velo Digest: Haro's Drop Bar Bikes, 'Revolutionizing' Helmet Straps, Baking Soda Performance-Boosters, & More
Maybe Haro will bring back the Sonix w/ the Virtual Link System?! Shuttering now….
Better yet, being a BMX player just bring back the whole BMX Formula One format. Tight parking lot crits with elbows out.

Specialized Stumpjumper Expert S5
$3000 USDLightly used and in near perfect shape.
Minor cosmetic scuff on stays but I’m sure those would buff out.
Been in the bike industry a long time (30+ years on the IBD, AM/OE domestic and international end) and UBI grad so this thing has been very well cared for mechanically.
Only change from OE are grips and changed the stem from 50mm to 35mm.
Pedals/saddle stays w/ me (as any right minded buy would expect).
https://www.specialized.com/us/en/stumpjumper-expert/p/199757?color=320342-199757
Reason for switch is spending most of my time on Stump Evo S4 (I’m 5’11”) for the PNW area.
Bike rides great and a true all around trail bike.
Questions?….fire away mi amigos.
Selling it locally (Seattle) would be ideal but if shipping then the buyer is on the hook for that action.
Thank you for looking, Chad

How Much Are World Cup Racers Paid in 2024? - Pinkbike's State of the Sport Survey 2024
Missed a question:
How many in the bike industry (doing non matter what) are with a partner that has a real job with a respectable income?
That’s the real sponsorship question to make this lifestyle possible.

Video: Do Lightweight eMTBs Enhance the Traditional Experience?
This is just history repeating itself.
Put a motor on a bicycle - hello bolting on a gas engines and the birth of motorcycles.
I actually own a working Whizzer (traded a GT LTS / Judy DH for one many moons ago).
It’s easier, speedy and “new”.
Me? I’m 100% harden the f#ck up and earn your descents. Tighter the singletrack the better.
