I'm currently rebuilding a 1994 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR that I originally owned while in high school. I sold it to a family friend and about eighteen years later got it back. The bike itself is no weight weenie, but the wheelset turned out to be.

The build list:
Stan's ZTR 355 28 hole 26" rims
Circus Monkey hubs
Sapim Laser spokes (2x F&R)
Sapim nipples

Final weight: 1290g
I didn't think to weigh the parts individually since I hadn't planned on posting the build.

Pardon the floor. The tile was laid yesterday and the grout will be finished up today. Finally!
