88(?) Rockhopper, looks vgc, Miami Vice Graphics! 99p still

[Hermit]

This has the U-brake which I think puts it about 1988, I've got an 89 Rockhopper that has a triple butted frame, think this is the same(?), and for an old bike it's still a very good ride

Thought I'd put this up as it looks to be in very good condition, much better than mine, and it's got those great blue/pink graphics ... it's bit yellow, but some people like that sort of thing

Very tempted, but I'd find it impaled in my chest the day it got delivered.

Exactly the same as my first MTB!

Exactly the same as my first bike too! Only a bit larger!

Ahhh, fond memories. Even remember the crossraods tyres - changed after a bit for Ground Control S..
T bone stem..
ITM Alloy bars (came with steel)

My first races were on this.

Must be cool too as had thumbies

Tempted - it may be a nice bit of nostalgia and my parents don't live far away! I'm keeping an eye on it for sure.
