1991 Specialized Hard Rock "Cruz"

[euphras_1]

I bought this bike back in 1991 and the first years it was ridden in original configuration with thick tyres, no mud guards and only a battery driven head and tail light. But over the years this bike more and more mutated into a "street machine" including bluemels mud guards, a dynamo driven lighting system (currently Busch & Müller S6), thin high pressure tyres and road appropriate gears.

Love that Rollamajig. Avid only does the plastic these days.

I hate to disappoint you, but sad as it is the Rollamajig is a plastic model from 1997 or so. But i went with a neutral grey one not the red or yellow models.

I love the Suntour kit on this bike. I must admit I've always had a soft spot for Specialized(s) of this era.

It looks like it would be a very competent commuter steed.
