I run a u-brake on my rockhopper, It's a bmx brake Dia Tech made by Dia-Compe. Not a whole hot of room for bigger tires and these are not super wide (2.0 Bontrager) And to whomever told you that u brakes weren't strong, was fulla brown stuff. I think have an exage ubrake you can have for the...

I have newer and older, this is just a representative sample. The reason I asked was that most of those bikes are more on the purest side. Mine aren't. I only have four that I would consider close to stock form. I have, sitting in the room with me, that Trek I posted, a decidedly non-sport...

Where is the appropriate place to post rat rod mountain bikes? I mean I'd love to see other people's projects and maybe post a few of mine. I might even tell you why I took the chain off my 1989 super grizzly :rolleyes:🤪😇

I know this is an old thread, but as a Rockhopper nut I gotta ask, how did it turn out?

I bought a 2000 Trek 6000 WSD (s) frame at a local garage sale. It was stripped, and I mean completely right down to the brake posts. 5 bucks. It was tossed it into the garage and forgotten about. Fast forward to this past summer. Surfing the local list of craig I come across a beater with some...

Such an insanely beautiful bike. :eek:

Re: Re: Not quite. The database needs to be updated to include 1989 and 1990 as also having u-brakes. And, I'd still like to know exactly how a German market intended bike ended up sold in California. Probably a sample but I'd like to know for sure.

More pics with close ups of decals here

1990 Specialized Rockhopper Sport, 20" purchased in Germany. Right color, right decals. I don't have the american flag.

And apparently so did the 1989 RockHopper Comp on the 15" according to this catalog http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/v/M ... ewsIndex=1

Re: You're going to love this, lol. I found an ad. 14.5 has a U-Brake. 1990 Model for I guess Germany. So I have a sample? Mine didn't come with those wheels, but everything else looks right.

It's been a long time, but If memory serves the shop was on San Carlos. That may ring a bell with someone.

Also found this; Same color, same decals, no u-brake https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=ht ... amp;uact=8

I have a new theory if you're interested. The bike was purchased in San Jose California, about 20 miles from Specialized's headquarters in Morgan Hill. I wonder if they didn't dump a few limited runs locally and hence the odd serial.

Re: Re: The serial? GT020922

Re: Re: Same frame as a rockhopper comp, much lower Exage component group, Araya Wheels with Exage hubs, Ground Control tires. Seen this? http://www.mombat.org/Specialized_Specs.htm

Re: Re: Check the U-Brakes. 1987 and 1988 were the only years, and I bought that one new

The Bianchi or the Specialized?

Thought I had some in the rafters, but they are 221's with DT spokes on Deore LX hubs
