1988 Specialized Rockhopper comp (Finished pictures)

My latest project, courtesy of forum member andyhilton.

It is probably about 99% original, I didn't know what to do with it but as per usual I've decided to do a complete rebuild (keeps me off the streets)

All the componets are in amazing condition for the age of the bike. The only thing that was a bit stubborn was the bottom bracket, I think it has never been taken out.

Given everything a good degrease and clean, and a few new bits and pieces.

Stripped the frame and painted it the other night, just need the decals to go back on and rebuild it.

more pics to follow

cheers

I'm kinda sad after reading this bit. Great looking bike, though!
