Thanks The Cheese, I think I'll leave this post here as I'm 100% confident in your opinion my old friend. Reynolds 853 'till I die.

Thoughts? I was thinking of the V-Brake version. Just how good a ride are they? Would it be a better ride than a 1999 Kona Explosif Reynolds 853 ?

Stop using Ebay for sales altogether. I started using Facebook Marketplace and Iv'e had great results. And it's free.

Hi All I just got my grubby mits on this little beauty. Can anyone tell me the year of manufacture and a little background about it please? I'm going to restore it 'As Is' and use it as my work bike for a while. The seat post was free and the dynamo and bulbs still work hehehehe

Update for all. The frame is still in the garage with the seat tube full of Plus Gas. I'm leaving it there for another week or so before trying again to free the seat post. I'll use a slide hammer first then resort to the hack saw method which I have used with success in the past on another frame.

Old thread bumped but I'm just putting a pair on my work bike, picture for reference:

Hi all I'm struggling to find a yellow 1988 Rockhopper which is annoying as i've had five of them over the years. I managed to find myself a blue one in the 19.5" frame size I need for a commuter / work bike so my question is at this point, how do I identify the yellow Rockhopper colour from...
