What do you get your twin brother for Christmas who already has a sweet bike? Another one! . . Er from a generation or two ago. Check out these sweet restomods we did on a couple of 1994 Specialized Ground Controls. If you own one of these bad boys please comment below and let us know what you think of our bike-hackery. Will they pop a wheelie better than the average hardtail? Is there something else we should try? Hopefully the snow will let up in a few weeks and we’ll be testing these out on some desert trails soon. More to come! Thanks to @Marquecycling for sponsoring this video with sweet pedals and grips.

I always wanted a Stump Jumper! But after the updates on my RockHopper, I think it’s even better….aside from being a hard tail 😉

Man, I still love my 99 hardtail Stumpy but wanted that 4 link Sumpy soooo much in the day. If I could afford it I'd be buying one and restoring it.

You know, that this light old Stumpjumper FSR is the perfect frame for a nice Gravel FSR Bike? There are some Gravel Mods out there with 1x11 and drop bar conversion and the results are excellent, almost on par with the latest Diverge STR. I am searching second hand markets everywhere but those rear shock frames are extremely rare and highly wanted...

I do the same short 80-90mm stem and 1- 1.5 riser bars and use thomson set back seat posts. Pretty much the same thing I did in the 90's as I never got it nor was I a fan of 120mm plus stems, narrow straight bars and bar ends. Also used bear trap BMX style pedals. The shit I use to get from fellow riders back then....look who has gotten the last laugh

Try to find a spring upgrade for those Manitou SX forks. I rode my 1998 Barracuda XC for 20 yrs and it had an SX off a 98 Stumpjumper. I got rid of the elastomers right away and put in a Dirt Worx spring, medium rate, and it worked flawlessly for the whole 20 yrs with regular maintenance
@CoolBikeProjects
@CoolBikeProjects 2 года назад
I'll have to see if I can still find some dirt works springs. Great idea!

At the Ground Control: The blue cables don't really match the rest of the colors which are red. ;)

Agreed! At the time I was assembling it I was completely out of black brake housing, i’ll get it switched out this spring👍

I converted my 94 Stumpjumper FSR (olive green) to 1x10 with dropbars. Took a lot to get that stack and reach dialed in (why they rode so long and low back in the day I don’t know). Ended up swapping out everything except the frame and canti brake hardware.
@CoolBikeProjects
@CoolBikeProjects 2 года назад
That would be cool to see with drop bars! and I loved the olive greens back in the day.

You could have converted both to tubeless for cheap using Stan's tubeless conversion kits. Gripshifts probably need new springs and grease on the inside. :0

Thanks Terry, We may be doing the Stan's conversion this summer.

@@CoolBikeProjects Yeah the tubeless setup lets you run insanely low tire pressures without flats. Helps off road. Thanks for the video, I owned a 98 Ground Control. Loved that bike even if it was too big for me.
