The Leadville 100 Back Story

2009 Lance Victory Speech at Leadville

The leading candidate bike for Leadville.

Waiting for its arrival in Grand Rapids to demo, however, this looks to be a leading candidate bike. A 29'er with full suspension, it brings to the table everything required and maybe more.

Specialized has this to say....
Evolving from a 25-year legacy, the Stumpjumper® FSR is absolutely the best breed of XC Trail bike—it's the anything and everything, 'make you an addict if you weren't one already' full-suspension mountain bike with miles upon miles of trail-tuned flow. The new lighter, stiffer and more capable 26" alloy and carbon models and all-new 29" alloy model only solidify the Stumpjumper's place as the most well-rounded mountain bike available.

Rock Shox Reba SL 29 made for Specialized, SRAM x-9, and Custom DT Swiss 520 SL's.
