 ===== 1981 Stumpjumper =====
-In November 1981, a batch of 250 Stumpjumpers frames arrived from 3 Rensho ((Specialized used [[https://loosebearings.wordpress.com/2011/02/26/builder-profile-3rensho/|3Rensho]] to build its Allez)), Japan and sold as a complete bike for $750. (([[https://mbaction.com/the-history-of-the-stumpjumper/|mbaction]]))  ((It's likely that only 200 Stumjumpers were made in 1981, as no serial numbers > 198 have been recorded.
