Wow! Dude was my hero
Ответитьwhere's the stache
ОтветитьStud
ОтветитьHe's the reason I bought a Rockhopper
ОтветитьThe 1992 M2 Stumpjumper is the bike that is more smooth than the Pepsi Plant.
ОтветитьRock Shox!
ОтветитьI would like to see Ned race Andy Hampsten...
ОтветитьNed remains an American mountain biking hero. His name IS synonymous with "Stumpjumper" and "Stumpjumper" in mountain biking was synonymous with "Specialized," which is why I thought it was insane for Specialized to drop the Stumpjumper hardtail line and rename it "Epic" - WTF? I've owned as many as 7 Stumpjumper hardtails over the years and still own a '95 FS chromoly, '97 Comp M2, and '98 S-Works M2. Long live Stumpjumpers and the Stumpumper God himself, Ned Overend!
ОтветитьHonored to call him a Durango 'Neighbor'!
ОтветитьI remember being at Mammoth either 94 or 95 & they did a bungee rope start, releasing it. The chord got stuck in Neds front wheel & he spent several seconds maybe close to a minute untangling it. He was in the front row to start and dead last to leave the line after getting untangled. He went on to real the majority of the pack back in finishing in the top 10 by the end of the race. It was such an impressive performance, I'll never forget it!
ОтветитьAn interview with the legend of the MTB world.
That only means one thing:Great.
Legend and a really nice guy too. Him and Tomac were true gentleman when I met them in the late 80's. Amazing times
ОтветитьNo pain No gain....
ОтветитьWhat if specialized build again a 1992 Mountainbike on this modern era..
ОтветитьNed is a complete legend great video that
ОтветитьWhat a bike
ОтветитьMaestro! I started this passionate relationship with cycling in 1985. I remember clearly your duels with John Tomac and Tinker Juarez. My first competition bike was a Rockhopper with XT/LX gruppo. You are one of my cycling heroes and inspiration! El primer Campeón Mundial de ruta de Montaña de la UCI! Casi na!
ОтветитьOMG...NED the man!
Ответитьtoda mi etapa de corredor la hice con esta legendaria marca, mis mejores resultados. ned idolo ¡¡ por siempre. saludos¡¡
ОтветитьI still used my M2 everyday.
ОтветитьCool stuff
ОтветитьNed in his prime was a beast. I remember the 90’s!
Ответить"Primitive" ?....The most fun I had recently was riding my 1991 Specialized Rockhopper 26" wheels...……..yes, there are far better bikes than a 91 Specialized, but MTB is all about having fun and fun can be had with 20, 24,26,27.5 and 29" wheels and with single, dual or triple chainrings.....
ОтветитьDeadly Nedly I think Is What They Called Him. Just Awesome.
ОтветитьI’m searching for a 17”-20”, 1997-2001 Stumpjumper M2 or an S-works frame if anyone has one or a lead on one please let me know. Even if you’re reading this in a few years from now, I’ll always be interested. Just drop a reply comment and I’ll see it in my notifications and get back to you. Thanks! Love the Stumpy community- you all are great!
ОтветитьI'm a cannondale guy..best hillclimber I've ridden
ОтветитьNed is such a legend
ОтветитьMan this bike is starting to appreciate in price maybe because of the bikepackers using it on the trails.
ОтветитьGreat interview. Thanks.
ОтветитьA real mountain bike heroe
ОтветитьMet Ned at a UK 🇬🇧 event once. Really nice guy and one hell of a rider.
ОтветитьI rode with a local group in San Jose - who all rode Specialized and I had a KHS - which got stolen and I went with flow and got an M2 myself and it was better for local trails - slightly longer wheelbase and lower bottom bracket - which seemed to make all the difference. I didn't miss my KHS at all.
ОтветитьOne thing he didn’t get quite right. If you look closely You still see a 26” Specialized M2 frame on the trails. I’m still on mine.
ОтветитьCool clip but am i the only one to notice that the setup of the front deraileur and rear on that bike is ffkn terrible the front deraileur was and in my opinion still great but it takes time to set up perfectly not like this and it also takes finess from the rider to not snap the chain esspessially when racing.
Ответить100% Pro: mentioned all his sponsors, and highlited the current equipment. Travel back in Time an ask him about full suspension and dropper posts.😏 Nice to see the old bike, but the rider is a snake.
ОтветитьWoke generation be like - why is he not using dropper seatpost, those handlebars to narrow, no disc brakes ?!?! 3inch suspension ? ? ?
ОтветитьIt would be awesome on gravel roads though.
Ответитьi'm a MTB'er from the 90's and was a mech at a shop . I have had many full suspension rides and hated al most all of them. i'm back to hard tails and half with no front shock either. so very few FS designs met my standards and desires. the rocky mountain element was the best cross country fs bike i ever rode. I still have a fresh fox vanilla r coilover for my next RM element find. Yeti always seem to go back to hard tails.
ОтветитьHow do you forget tinker
ОтветитьThe shop manager said it would be the last bike you'll ever need. A beautiful light purple, XT metal matrix M2 for $1200. Snapped the made in Italy handlebar in two landing a jump in my second race resulting in a good summersault. Bottom bracket cones failed and broke two frames at the chain stay in 6 months. Still riding lots just not Specialized. Ned and Frischknecht on team Ritchey were the stuff of legends back in the day.
ОтветитьLegend
Ответить👍🚵👍
ОтветитьWe should all help my dad find his long lost 1990s world championship race bike. It's got to be out there somewhere...
ОтветитьI had the last version of the steel stumpjumper. I was 16 when I bought it and about a year later the aluminum version came out. Wish I still had it.
ОтветитьI had the silver with purple sticker 92 M2. Loved it. Stolen on base in Pearl Harbor.
ОтветитьSad to hear him talk down about old tech in order to shill for Specialized.
ОтветитьMr Shred! Always the great athlete & true gentleman.
