Specialized Rockhopper

Hi Guys

Saved this from the tip today, for massive investment of £7. She needs a bit of love and affection.

She has the original tyres, wheels, pedals, crank set.

My plan is to strip and clean the frame new cables, and gears keeping them as they all work, repaint the handle bars black, new brake pads, and re-cable the brakes, but again they currently working. New tubes and tyres, will be sticking with my favourite Continental MountainKing tyres. Hunt for a saddle and seat post (which i think i have some where)



But looking forward to takening her for a run soon.
 
Bit of a bargain that. I'll buy the tyres off you if they're in decent shape
 
That's a shame - they looked pretty good from the photo
 
I SS one one of these a couple of months ago, love it.
I will be gearing it though as I have a Rockhopper Comp now that will take care of SS duties.
 
this cheeky lot of cheap bits turned up, they aren't premium parts like some of the builds (but have choosen bits with great reviews) but trying to keep this build fun

Schwalbe Black Jacks


Again cheap tubes and grips, she will be rolling this week, may be her first trip to the pub.


Cleaned up some of the easy bits off the bike

Wheels cleaned up well

Nice. you might want to edit that cleaned up mech picture to remove the letter in the drawer though...
