Lovely memories of that Courier. That one i.i.r.c, is an '87 (lugged) with the '88 decals. I saw a couple of those at the time before the '88 purple/ white fade one came out. Very nice.

That just looks right. Good job. :-) Really nice Grav conversion (although imo, Grav is essentially mountain biking before the comfort years).

I'm not sure bike design didn't peak with the '94 Explosif. Quite lovely.

Just beautiful.

Quite lovely.

Lovely. My first MTB. Pretty sure that's an '87 though. Have fun with the restoration

Lovely. My second MTB was an '88 Trekker with the same U brake configuration.

And I think the first year of the Rockhopper Comp was 1988. The Stumpjumper had multiple models in '87 though.

It could well be a 1986 model. It has the graphics of an '87 but without the small 'Specialized' on the top tube. There were thin lines that ran either side of the writing too, but those can be seen on the head tube decal.And the '87 graphics may well have been the same as the '86 anyway, I...

I have nothing but praise for my various Hugi and 240 hubs. Always worked well and were simple and reliable.

Absolutely lovely. While I'm not into amber walled tyres on modern bikes, when the pics started showing that with them, it made it just perfect to me.

Perhaps 'The' year.:cool:

As ever Pierre, class.

A great colour that year, one half of the Stumpy's Dinucci green/ magenta pink colourway. Really nice bike.

Just found these on an old hard drive from a visit to Bianchi a few years ago that I was told I wasn't allowed to photograph for my Belgian journalist, after we got there.
