Hi,
I have for sale my 1989 Specialized Rockcombo. As this bike is located in Raleigh, NC at my girlfriends house I am offering it for sale in the US only, however, I am actually from Glasgow so if anyone was really keen I could get it over but it wouldn't be until about Christmas time.
For anyone that knows about them, they were only made in 1989 and are quite rare, i've read only 500 were made/sold. They pre-date the iconic Bridgestone XO series by a couple of years. If you want more information, look it up online, there's plenty there.
I bought the bike about 6 months ago to use when I visit my gf, but I am more a road bike person and this deserves to go to someone who will appreciate and ride it.
The bike, I think, is in terrific condition for its age. The parts are mostly original, however you can tell that at some point it has been sitting unused for a number of years.
On top of this, the "dealer" that I bought the bike from claimed to have given it a "tune-up" including new tyres, cables and chain. However, in doing this he has broken the golden rule of never replacing just the chain, because a few of the gears now slip and I think this is the route of the problem. He has also sprayed the FD and QR's with silver paint and not done a professional job. Other bad points is the seat post didn't seem to want to budge last time I tried and the rear rack might need some work to get off.
In an attempt to get it back to its original condition, I have also bought a NOS set of aero levers with hoods and a used but in good condition RD. The only thing that would not be original is the saddle ( which was originally a turbo). These will be included.
Because of the above I am only asking $425 delivered. I am happy to answer any questions.
