My 1991 Specialized Rockhopper Comp. Bought it before college...did my first mtb race on it at Iron Hill in Delaware, sometime around 1992 ,using toe clips and track shoes that had the plastic sole that you screwed spikes into.
While at school I detailed a Bike Line mechanics car and he gave me new Deore XT brake/shifters and derailleurs...also gave me my first shop stand.
That thing got me to.a lot of classes and parties Few years back I put on slicks just to ride w Mrs rottin' on paved trails etc.
I even still have the tab on top tube for my frame pump
Also, rear shifter/brake (all in one on this model) is broken....pawls on inside no longer engage/shift to easier gear....if anyone has a 7 speed deore shifter/brake laying around let me know
