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.

The Leadville Trail 100 Project
Inaugurated in 1994, the Leadville Trail 100 is held annually on trails and dirt roads at high altitude west and south of Leadville, Colorado and through the heart of the Rocky Mountains.
A difficult course with steady climbs and descents of over 14,000 feet with elevations ranging from 10,200 to 12,600 feet.
The Leadville Trail 100 Project is about my journey to compete in the 2010 edition as well as a repository for knowledge gained about endurance mountain biking over the course of this journey.
