Re: Re: Yup. I bought a Rockhopper in '89 - light grey and Deore LX. Lovely bike. I have a period catalogue and I have to admit Specialized mountain bikes of that era are really special for me. Just about attainable (it took me a while to save up for the Rockhopper but it was worth the wait)...

Very nice indeed.

Re: That is beautiful - love the Mavic kit.

You and me both - have just started sorting through the projects I have, and the '89 Cinder Cone hasn't moved in the last couple of years. Still, they aren't going anywhere, so when I get the time...

Re: I would love to know too, but if this is progressing as fast as my builds do, probably not much further on from the last photos... :D

Re: Looks fabulous! 8) If it wasn't ever so slightly too big for me... :?

This is now SOLD. Thanks to those who expressed an interest, and to the buyer. 8)

Re: This is now reserved pending some measurements being right, but it sounds like they will be. Thanks to all for the interest and I'll let you know if it becomes available again, and will also confirm once it's definitely sold.

Re: Re: Thanks Paddy - will wait out for a PM from him.

Re: Re: Sounds like you've got your project the right way round - getting approval from the missus before starting the build... :roll:

Re: Re: Cheers Ash - I think so too. I feel a bit sick to be selling it to be honest as i've had it so long, but needs must and I need to prioritise. I'll probably never build this up and it's a shame to see it hanging in the garage doing nothing...

Re: Re: Almost certainly too small I'm afraid. I used to ride it with most of a long XT seatpost showing...
