NicoBoshoff Posted April 8, 2016 Share no, they really didn't... Yeah, they really did, all the way from 2013: Still, I want a Jeffsy. Real bad. Oh, and it's bullcrap that niners have only recently broken through as contenders in the aggresive trail market. The 2013-2014 Evo Stumpies filled Spaz's trophy cabinet with awards for bike of the year etc. People have just been less full of sh*t of late.

Bigger rocker, mounted lower. Far bigger stays. And only so many ways to style a bike with a given suspension design. As for the Spez, the Enduro was the first one that made it happen properly, but not a lot of others have followed. And the Stumpy as well.

Even my wife, when I showed her the Jeffsy said it looked just like mine. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spez247 Posted April 8, 2016 Share I retract my statement. The Stumpie can accomodate a full botlle & has that built in storage bin. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean they were copied or used it for inspiration - there's only a certain amount of ways you can design a frame, and there are bound to be small similarities here and there. It may look the same at a glance, but when you actually look at it, the differences become obvious. Remember the PinkBike craze #lookslikeasession? EVERYTHING looked like a session. Even though they really didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted April 8, 2016 Share Ya I like that it looks like a Stumpy only its cheaper. One day. Myles, it does look like a Stumpy but its a joke, I like the bike and all your arguments are valid. But it still looks like STUMPY - - from 2013. At least it doesnt look like a Session.

RiverInTheRoad Posted April 8, 2016 Share Fact of the Matter is its a 29r with 140 mm travel and FSR suspension. I will buy it in a heartbeat. I wonder how it climbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizkit031 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Specialized called and asked for their Stumpy back... Specialized phoned and asked YT how they can make their Stumpy handle as well as the Jeffsy. Maybe Gwin took the blue prints for the Stumpy with. Edited April 8, 2016 by Bizkit031 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Gwin took the blue prints for the Stumpy with.A year ago Gwin called YT and asked them to make a 29er trail bike with a view to a 29er downhill bike in 2017. They said "Ja, for you, Aaron, anysink. " Bizkit031 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
