1991 Hardrock

[winjohn]

Just bought this, it is in great condition and looks original down to the saddle and tyres, except for the rear mech, which looks like it has been replaced. The owner bought it new, he thought, in 1991, but I can't seem to find that colour in the catalogues...which are not great for Specialized it seems. I'm trying to find what the original spec was, can anyone help?
Cheers
John

OK done a bit of checking and the rear mech is an Altus, the same as the front mech so probably original...it just looks a bit pants!

Still can't seem to find this colour scheme for 1991 though.

Very happy with how it looks after a 10 minute washdown though.

Looks great, Very clean!
I love the old Specialized decals.

Those Altus groupsets didn’t come out until 1993, so the bike is a 93 on wards model.

Anyone want it? £60 collected.
I literally could not get it in the garage this evening...
