Stumpjumper 29, Factory / GX build.
$5800 CAD2020 Stumjumper here in a fairly rare colour. Carbon front a rear triangles and 2021 Factory 36 Fork and DPX2.
Bike is in really decent shape, ride wrapped and well maintained. It has a 160mm fork over the stock 150 and I put a longer stroke shock on it so the rear is more like 145. It rides great like this.
The Good:
New GX shifter, mech, chainring, BB and chain. Cassette in good shape.
2021 Factory 36 which has brand new lowers and just came back from Fox after a full service.
2021 Factory DPX2, just serviced.
Code R Brakes, just bled.
Raceface Turbine R wheels are in decent shape.
Tire's are pretty much new.
The Bad,
Dropper needs some love.
I'd replace the rotors with fresh ones.
Headset not the smoothest.

Carbon Wasp's Truffle is a 120mm Carbon XC Bike Handmade in the UK
Carbon Wasp used to make custom TT bar extensions moulded to peoples arms. I heard repeated times from people who used them that the quality was exceptional. This guy knows his carbon. Happy to see him make this frame.

@bbcopeland: Nice, that's cool, thanks! When I saw the all black one I thought it was getting closer to a possible release. I think the regular 4 bolt version is better for consumers, especially as it's a low volume product. I guess there is a tool to remove it, like a giant chain whip?

I did, I'd like a look at that tread pattern. New Specialized Cannibal DH tyre spotting recently as well. They've been doing so great with their tyres recently.

@laupe: Well lots of people didn't think it wouldn't be an option in the road world as well yet they did it. You have to trade in your PM every time you change your chainrings. Thankfully, by the looks of that photo, they are in fact two piece. I assume by a threaded interface.

@laupe: The chainring and power meter. On the road side they are doing one-piece chainring / power meter combos. The one photo seems to show the chainring off of the power meter in the background.

Does that chainring thread onto the power meter?

I thought for a long time those new Quarq's were a one piece design, looks like they're two piece. I guess they thread onto each other?
