Cool! And what about the fork brace? This one is not the same as the original?

I got this typical 90s fork. My guess is a Rock Shox Mag but which one? All decals are gone. steerer tube is about 5.5" / 14cm steerer tube diameter is 1" steerer tube is threaded Any clues?

5x "Mountain Biking Fair Play To Nature" by GRUNDIG stickers - €7,50 4x "Grundig/FIAC Mountain Bike World Cup '91" stickers - €7,50 combined €10 I guess a regular enveloppe will fit so depending on destination some additional stamps. Collecting dust right now but perfect for your retro...

whoopsy, thought I had email alert on this topic. Did not. thx for all the replies. Will measure axle length and BB size. But I already know it's 73 by putting it next to a 68 one. I did some polishing with Commandant 4 on it and some waxing afterwards. The green paint is really nice and...

ah nice offers! the main problem is: I really dig the frame colours. The bright red in combination with the white is great. Specialized also had a red one with black letters but that contrasts a lot less. The fork you guys offer is a Specialized one or does any fork fit? edit: to not...

so what are my options? a. find exactly the same rigid fork b. find almost the same fork c. use the old fork the way it is d. (let) bend the old fork and c. e. put in a suspension fork your votes please :)

Got myself another Specialized Rockhopper today (as I said in the other RH topic). Curious about the original specs. Can't find them on bikepedia (too early) big: http://www.flickr.com/photos/leunkstar/3860159040/ big: http://www.flickr.com/photos/leunkstar/3860159480/ some...

strange thing is: if I have the seperate fork in my hands I can't really see anything strange but.. I'm no expert either ;)

I did some more work on this bike and completely took it apart: I went to an autoparts store with the fork and tried to match it with one of their red rattle cans (Motip) I read 100 tutorials on painting/spraying complete bikes but none described repairing paint chips. I have no clue...

nope, did not. but I had the same feeling.. hmzzzz.. what now.. bend it back? ;) I was not planning to place a suspension fork in it

Got myself a Specialized Rockhopper tonight (2nd hand). By checking Bikepedia I would identify it 1997. Can you guys confirm this? I like the frame a lot qua color and geometry but oh boy is this bike mistreaded! It's an ex rental used in the Belgium Ardennen with a lot (A LOT!) scratches and...

hi all, new here and loved to browse around the forums so far. Now time to post. I ride a 1996 Gary Fisher Aquila with a frankenstein mix of shimano parts. Recently someone gave me a 1997 Trek 920 singletrack in nice condition. On top of that I got an, excusez le mot, 1996 Giant Boulder Alu...
