Hiya
Trying to work out what model year/spec my wife's old Specialized is.
No pics at the moment I'm afraid but I reckon a Specialized guru will work it out. If not I'll get some snaps.
Pretty sure it's a rockhopper, purchased 2h in 91, likely over 20 years old.
It's a very small frame (but relatively long) running on 24" rims
Horseshoe brake on chain stays
XT mechs
Biopace chainset
6 spd cassette
Deore SIS "dual action" thumbshifters (glazes over recalling XT thumbies, underbar mounted, isn't it though eh?)
Deore rear hub, rim is labelled GX28 (front wheel unmatched steel cr4p)
Front (to mid top & down tube) is white, rear is navy, used to be stickers blending the paint job iirc, remaining seat tube sticks is in 80s dayglow colours
Still has York Cycleworks dealer sticker (respec to the old firm even though they didn't give me that job in '92 )
It's generally dusty and tatty with surface corrosion showing through the original paint and various manky replacement components. Having read around this forum the last few days the shame of this is almost more than I can bear. But not quite. :roll: Underneath the basics are all there and in surprisingly good shape (has seen no use for 15 years and led a gentle life before that).
Might be an interesting project for someone?
