Retro Newbie
Hi,
I moved to London in 2000 and bought this Rockhopper for transport, £80.
Replaced with a Marin Alpine Trail in 2004 when I moved to Kent, and has been mainly gathering dust in the back of various sheds until last month.
It needed new cables and I picked up the front wheel from Ebay.
Unfortunately the seat post is stuck solid and possibly the quill stem in the forks, covered in rust spots too.
Pedals are Campagnolo Centaur?
I added the Arch Rivals sometime over the years and replaced the rear mech and stupidly binned the original.
Maxxis Beavers 2.25 just fitted luckily.
Took it out for the first time yesterday in the local woods - Bikes have come along way since then, but I loved it!
This bike will definitely be out of the shed more often now. Will look to get an original rear mech and tidy it up a bit.
Cheers, Dave.
