1986 Rockhopper mod

Had planned to buy that frameset myself but wanted something else in the end. I was going IGH but when I saw it was semi horizontal I wasn't as keen. Glad to see it went to a person that wishes to bastardise it proper. Excited to see it materialise and then post it in my sweaty thread.

Sorry to hear about your injury, hope all is better soon.

Yeah, thought it was fine at first, realised it was getting more and more painful as I rode the 9 miles back to the car and confirmed broken at minor injuries. At a follow up a week later they reckoned I’d buggered the ligament so surgery the next day. Get this cast off in 9 days and hoping they put me in a Velcro splint at that point but kinda suspect it’ll be back into another cast.

At least it’s not summer!

That sucks! Get well soon!
Love your plans for the Hopper.

Good luck with all that. Been there (numerous times!) having to ride home with broken bones.

Ligaments can be tricky to repair correctly, I have a deformed arthritic left hand thanks to being doored and crap repair work being done.

Eesh, that sucks. I really have to commend the nhs, they sorted getting me in for surgery so quickly and looked after me really well when I was in.

Very ‘semi’, the driveside had the outline of the full slot that’s on the nds but is largely filled in so there’s little to no actual adjustment in it. I did think I could just extend the slot and save myself some work but I think a conversion to track ends will be worthwhile.

I prefer track ends too. Dropouts are annoying with fat tyres.
