Way overpriced imo, nice though. Those tyres make it look the part. Are they the cheap ones you can get online, that I’ve seen mentioned here before?

Nice clean looking bike, but at that price I think I'll wait until one turns up at the tip for £20

Would be interested in those cheap tyres though if anyone has a link? Cheng Shin perhaps?

They are Deli tyres, made in Medan, Indonesia:

Price is over 10x what paid for my 88 a couple of years ago!

Depends. It looks like a fabulous example of a classic era Rockhopper, with one of the cooler paint jobs

There's plenty of 50 year olds with £400 to spare on reliving their youth.

KoF, thanks for that

I suppose it's worth what someone will pay for it, end of day. Fact is though, they can be found in similarly good nick just needing a damn good clean and lube for less than 5% of the price just need a keen eye and occasionally a well-to-do area helps for your tip hunting. Just goes to show one man's trash is another's treasure.

Nice bike, crazy price, again.

Surprised it doesn't have a shopping basket attached to the front.

It would be double the price due to hipster tax!
