Posts: 13 Hi all. Im hoping someone may be able to throw some light on a steel mtb frame i picked up cheap at car boot. Its light, just under 5 pounds, been poorly resprayed but original colour under rattle can finish is light green. Seller said it was a rockhopper. But looking at the serial no which is 94M2403, im thinking it may actually be a 94 Stumpjumper M2 FS. frame. Seat post size is about 30-31mm which i think was on stumpjumper of the time but not rockhopper. Colour given in 94 catalogue for M2 FS was silver-green which also points to that conclusion. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Location: New Brunswick, Canada If it's steel, it's not an M2. M2 is an aluminum alloy with a ceramic component, non-magnetic.. Looks very aluminum-y Frames weighed about 4.4# IIRC.. mine's not been weighed frame-only. Check out the photos of my bike (link in sig), and compare to yours. Downtube gussets and the like.. Mine's a '95, but substantially similar to the '94 M2.
Without seeing it, it is possible that it's a steel Stumpjumper. Weight is close. Steel is magnetic, check. I have a light metallic green steel stumpy frame (95) in my basement right now..
Check the catalogue for that year:

Thanks Rock Mafia, that's the bike! We picked up the 2002 for my son-in-law. I also have the 2007 triple. That's the reason we were looking at Lemond's in the first place. Locate the bicycle serial number. This can be found either behind the seat, on the seat adjustment bar bracket, on the bottom of the bike frame, or on the upper rear frame fork, depending on the year. Behind the seat is indicative of all raven models manufactured between 1998 and 2001, and all models from 2002 to current.

Posts: 13 Hi, thanks for that info. It's definitely steel, no extra gussets or anything. I want to make use of a set of carbon forks I already have, which are 445mm crown to centre, which I think equates to an 80mm suspended fork. Assuming it is either the Stumpjumper or Sj FS in the catalogue. Is it likely the actual frames are exactly the same, ie suspension corrected? Headtube is standard 1&1/8'.

Location: New Brunswick, Canada Spesh frames were suspension corrected, AFAIK, by 1994. Especially likely on those with 1.125' steerers.
I wouldn't worry a bit.

The correct rigid fork for a Stumpjumper of that age measures about 412mm axle-to-crown, so the carbon fork you have is a fair bit longer than ideal. A classic Kona P2 is a good alternative at 410mm.
Oversized steel Stumpjumpers and Rockhoppers of the period (assuming a frame built in 1994 for the '95 model year) both used a 30.4mm seatpost in a 31.8mm seat tube.

Posts: 13 Ah, that's a pity. I do actually have a pair of Specialized rigid forks from a later model stumpy, think a 95 rigid. They are 425mm, as well as another chromo set around 415mm so will have to play with them and see how it goes. 
Many thanks for the advice.

Location: New Brunswick, Canada Ultimately, I guess it depends on what you want from the bike.. BITD, and still now, people regularly modify their bicycles with upgraded forks, often pushing the A-C measurement beyond what the original rigid forks had. IMHO, it doesn't affect a bicycle's handling nearly as much as some would have us believe.
As a more extreme example than what you're contemplating, over the last couple years as my wife's MTB skills progressed, I've upgraded her once rigid Hardrock AX ('97) from the OEM rigid chromo fork to a crap Judy J1 80mm, to a Magura Asgard 100. The Asgard's AC length is a whopping 476mm. That slackened the head angle a couple degrees. She came back from her first hard riding experience with the upgraded bike (on trails she's very familiar with) commenting only on the better suspension and surer handling (no doubt due to the stiffer Magura fork over the crap J1). Her head angle has been slackened by some 3 degrees, from something near 69 to more like 66 (neglecting sag, which adds a degree back in). Actually, it's put the bike's geometry largely in line with more relaxed modern offerings..
Adding 30mm to a fork on a bike with a wheelbase of about 44' changes the head angle less than 1.5 degrees. At worst, it'll remove some of the mid'90's nervousness from the bike's handling on fast downhills, IMHO.

Other than routine maintenance, one of the best ways to ensure that your electric bike lasts you a long time is being up to date on your manufacturer's various warranties. This can help immensely because if something happens to your bike that is completely out of your control, you're covered. It's not just the bike itself that can have a great warranty, but the motor and battery as well. Registering your bike with the manufacturer means that you'll be set with all the warranties they offer. So how do you register your bike? Let's walk you through serial Numbers, warranties, and getting the best out of your electric bike manufacturer.
Registering your Electric Bike
You should definitely register your ebike! These bikes are a huge investment that can last a long time if you treat them right and stay up to date on any recalls, common issues, and general news about your manufacturer. Registering with your serial number takes care of all of this. What do you need to register your electric bike? The serial number! Click on the links below to register your electric bike today!

Haibike Serial Numbers
You can find the serial on your Haibike easily. Simply remove the battery from the downtube on your frame. You should find the serial number engraved into the frame. It should start with a capital 'HA' or 'HC.' If you can't find the serial number there, give us a call and we can walk you through it!
If you have a Currie-Electro Drive motor, you will likely find your serial number on the inside of a plastic plate on the motor itself. To locate it, start on the left side of your motor (the non-drive side). Carefully remove the two Phillips head screws on either end of the covering. Be sure not to mix these screws up as one is longer than the other. You can now pull back the plastic covering and find your serial number. You'll find it in the same spot as in the picture below.
Alternatively, on their newer models, IZIP has the serial number on the backside of the seatpost where the post meets the motor.
Bulls has placed their serial numbers in one of two places. You can find the serial number on the bottom bracket or side of the seat tube of the frame. If you purchased your bike through us, make sure you know where it is before you leave the shop with it!
Raleigh Electric Bikes and Diamondback Electric Bikes Serial Numbers
Look for the serial number to these manufacturers on the bottom bracket underneath the crank.
EFlow has placed the serial numbers to their bikes underneath the bottom bracket near the crank. This is a common place for serial numbers if you are having trouble finding yours!
Now that we know where our serial numbers are and followed the links to register them, we'll give you a brief overview of what your manufacturer's warranty will cover. It's important to note that these warranties do not cover 'wearing parts.' This refers to things like brake pads, chains, cassettes, and the like. You should also note that making changes to the bike that could compromise integrity can void the warranty. For the specific details on your warranty, you should consult your owner's manual.
Lookup Specialized Bike By Serial NumberScope of Warranties
Haibike: Two year warranty on the entirety of the electric bicycle. Five year warranty on the whole frame so long as the bicycle is retained by the original owner.
IZIP: They cover the frame of the bike for as long as it is retained by the original owner. Currie-Electro Drive motors are covered for two years and the batteries are covered for a year.
Bulls: Bulls offers a two year warranty on the motor and battery, five year warranty on the frame, and one year warranty on other components.
Raleigh: They offer a lifetime warranty on your frame so long as it is retained by the original owner. The Currie-Electro Drive motors are covered for two years and the batteries are covered for a year.
EFlow: They cover the frame of the bike for as long as it is retained by the original owner. Currie-Electro Drive motors are covered for two years and the batteries are covered for a year.
