Nitanium Rockhopper

[oldgit]

Just been to see a guy about an old road bike, and he dug out an old specialized afterwards. Not my cuppa tea, but he will be ebaying it and I thought he should try this site first.

It's a Ritchey Nitanium Rockhopper.
Bottom end Acera kit
Nice flat bar and stem combo
Rock Shox Indy's, purple I think with a long travel sticker.
Suspension post that I couldn't budge?

Thing is it's in top riding condition, is it the sort of thing people still go after?

He should get some interest i'd of thought.

I was given a mint one except that the seatpost was stuck :cry: . Tried everything to get it out. One of my mates is cutting it out at present :? .

They are excellent. There will be interest for frame if nothing else.

specialized made them in 1998-99

it's the Rockhopper FS

I used to have a grey one, now I have a GOLD one and also picked up a blue one last year. They come in my size with 21.5" ST and 24" top tube.

It takes a 30.9 mm post
rides pretty nice, a lot like steel
