Awesome ‘orange’ 1998 Stumpjumper M2 Pro. Best for 6’0”-6’7” riders. Handmade in the USA superlight M2x metal matrix composite frame, 24-speed Shimano XT drivetrain, Manitou Answer Pro front shocks, new wheelset and all terrain tires. This bike weights 24 lbs – it is lighter than most modern days MTBs! I bought this bike with badly damaged XTR rear derailleur and without wheels, replacing them with compatible XT rear derailleur and Ritchey wheel set. Original price: $1,700. Check the BikePedia and my cost estimate for more info.

This is William’s bike now.
