vp1337's Specialized Rockhopper 1992

Dirt Disciple
The ad was up for a few weeks already and no one actually bought this beautiful machine, so I went and picked it up. It costed me 78 EUR worth of HUF, and the prices are pretty mad in Hungary I can tell you that...
More pics here.




Specs:
18" (46 cm) frame C-C
Shimano Exage 400LX shifting and crankset
48-38-28 Biopace SG chainrings
Specialized BX25 rims (barely worn brake surface), probably still the original Specialized tires
Shimano Exage hubs (rear is 7s HG casette)
I've replaced the original saddle (which was in a perfect condition btw, no scratches, no sign of wear) with a Selle Royal Viper, which my bottom likes very much.
Even the brake pads are original. The thing is like a time capsule.

I've added spoke reflectors (the 2 big ones were already on when I've bought it, I'll take them down soon), a bell, lights, and replaced the original grips (they were literally melting in my hands) with bar tape.

To do:
- I'll probably replace the original SR seatpost, because it looks pretty terrible right now.
- Not sure about the cockpit so far, I'll probably get a shorter ahead stem with a threadless adapter, it feels pretty long right now.
