Re: Stumpjumper clone
The geo is a little inconsistent for sure. I did a little digging around about this frame (love the look of the stumpy) very similar to the new Stumpy so somehow they got their hands of the moulds and were able to build pretty quickly. I got in contact with this company https://www.allstarbicycle.com and spoke to someone via whatsapp. Pretty good deal for the frame $700 CDN. Still thinking this one over as that Santa Cruz looks pretty good too

Re: Stumpjumper clone
Received my frame. This is my second full suspension 'knock off' that I have purchased. The first one, little shorter travel and dated (68 head tube angle). Finish was good, but this frame has really open my eyes. I currently have it taken apart. I can rush it and put it together but it won't do it justice. The linkage has decent bearings, after reading the post I see the other user has updated parts on it. I will most likely do the same. Took it to my buddy who's a specialized dealer - currently in Ontario, all specialized enduro or stump jumpers have already sold out. He could not believe how close it is. Another detail that almost makes me want to do it is on the down tube is an impression for the swat box. Makes be think that it is meant to be cut out. The downtube is quite oval like the stump jumper. They definitely manufactured this bike at some point. Communication was decent, all through messaging on aliexpress. More to follow.

Re: Stumpjumper clone
I'll post a full review and measurements once I have mine built. it is def. 2019 Specialized Stumpjumper, not the evo. Without saying it fully, the person I have been speaking with said they have built this frame for a big company to sell over seas...

Re: Stumpjumper clone
Here's my follow up for some impatient trollers.... Bought this frame November 4th and received in hand January 4th. 60 days China ----> Toronto.Not bad considering our world is currently upside down. Like swuw231, I also did not get a rear axle included so I ordered one from CRC and it was hear quicker then my LBS could order one. Build it up with parts I had and put it together for a demo ride knowing that it was not the configuration I was going to ride with, Front travel, RS Pike DA 160 with a 51 offset provided me with a 65 deg slack which is more then what I am use to. Ran a 200x57 rear shock, too much travel as the tire was just rubbing on the seat binder. Tested it on some local trails where their is some downhill sections (not really, small 30 second downhills) and mini climbs. Rode incredibly well. Frame is predictable and works very well. Handled jumps, climbed very well. I tore the bike back down and as suspected 3 bearing were already pooched. So I will be replacing all the bearings. Going to be painting this frame up and will put all new bearings everywhere and bike should be ready 2 ride for the spring. Pic attached. The store I bought this from has been good at communicating, will be purchasing a few more to sell as completed bikes as the entire bike industry is on pause for 2021. The store I got this from is originally linked on the first page so do some research like I did. February 02, 2021, 05:22:59 AM |

Re: Stumpjumper clone
Update: The location of the water bottle mounted is way to high. I noticed that right away even without a piggy back shock (which I am going to go with) so I drilled a 1/4" hole 65mm below the bottom screw mount and installed another rivet nut in to the frame. Major improvement. Highly recommend doing this. Paint so far.... Sanded - 600, then 800 - black primer and then added color effex paint. Looks amazing in the sun light. Decals ordered, then 3-4 coats of clear. February 09, 2021, 05:56:57 AM |

Re: Stumpjumper clone
Bottle holder really is too high, but i'm not really comfortable drilling holes in a carbon tubing... Maybe epoxy would help? It's not something you want to get wrong that's for sure - but not something too difficult either. I have done this many times and I always say, pilot hole first fo you know exactly where your going. I would not recommend epoxy. I would make up a piece of aluminum 140mm long by 10mm wide then 3 holes in the aluminum spaced 65mm apart then that way the bottom hole on your bottle mount will at least be in something see drawing attached...Make sure also to install some felt under the bottom edge so it prevents the plate from slapping on the frame February 10, 2021, 02:52:54 PM |
