Really need some advice on how to make my rockhopper a little more nimble around town.
My current setup:
97 Rockhopper FS mostly original, except newer tora 289 fork, three piece shimano crankset, FSA headset and kona stem and handlebars.
First thing specifically I'd like to do is replace the fork with a rigid fork and what good steelies are out there?
I'm also concerned about the geometry, I feel like im riding too far away from the handle bars. I probably just need to move the saddle up, but is there anything telltale anyone can see from the pictures that i might be doing wrong with the configuration?
The original saddle isnt much for going but a few miles with and would like to replace it with something more comfortable any suggestions from commuting sages out there?
Also any advice in general would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
