Picked up a '93 Hardrock "Ultra" today, it was only 5 miles from me so I couldn't help myself, this will be replacing Mrs Jimo's bike (a pink '91 Kona Hahanna Link here... ). I think the Kona is on the large size for her, so this should be a better fit. Not that she rides it much, or ever! But maybe a New Year's resolution will fix that
It seems all original, Altus A20 groupset, even has the Spesh Crossroads 2 tyres!
I paid £50 for the Hardrock, and the plan is to swap over all the parts from the Kona, bar the forks as the Hardrock has a 1" threaded headset.
A quick rummage in the shed has uncovered a 1" threaded to 1"1/8 aheadstem converter (I knew some of that "junk" would come in handy someday ).
I believe the frame colour is cranberry/purple fade, so should be a good match with the pink pedals, saddle etc from the Kona.
Pic is from the sellers advert as it's already in bits in the shed ready for the rebuild...
