How much is this?

Thanks mate!

Hey, I'm restoring an old rockhopper I picked up from ebay. The frame has areas of rust, and I can't find paint to color correct those areas, so having to repainting it. The issue is, I really like the decals that are on it, and can't find replacements. Not so much the big ones, but those...

Me too! The retromod style is a good fusion. It's nice to see period correct projects, but like you I'm not as bothered, and some of the newer parts make life easier. Yeah those are the ones I'm planning on getting. Just gotta get the paint stripped and repainted and all that other fun longevity...

The towel + vice approach worked a treat! Thanks for the tip. I think I'm going to swap seatpost and stem in favor of some black ones to match the new crankset. The rear wheel/hub needs to be changed as well. I think the one on it now is a 7 speed cassette. The 1x10 drive train you mentioned...

No need to apologize, this was really helpful! As for the chainring, I'm not quite sure yet. The one that came with the bike is fairly worn down 🙈 Regarding seatpost and stem - what would you recommend?

Hey, I've recently purchased a specialized rockhopper from ebay. I'm fairly new to the world of bikes but keen to learn! Here's the before picture - I've taken it apart but having issues with a seized seat. Aside from this I'm not quite sure what parts to go with. The long term goal is to...

Ah fantastic! Thank you

Hey thank you for the responses! Yeah the post was the main issue as most of the adverts were collection only. I managed to get a specialized rockhopper on ebay for £60 + postage. It's going to be a bit of project as the seat is seized and unfortunately the forks don't have any eyelets for the...

I'm 5"10 so around 19" to 20"

Legend! Thank you for the heads up, and also for the warm welcome. I'm located in Norwich and my budget is around £100ish.

Hey, I'm not sure where to look or how to go about this, but I'm after a cheap 90s mtb. Prepreferably with fixed forks for a front rack/basket. Unfortunately I'm without a car at the moment so collection isn't an option.

Hey is this still available?
