1998 Specialized Rockhopper 18" SOLD.

[Martin m]

I purchased this for some of the parts only a few weeks ago, with the intention of building it back up and using it as a bike to get to work etc...but I've managed to free up the seized seat post in my Cinder Cone so this has to go.



It's a 1998(?) Specialized Rockhopper. Aluminium frame with a steel fork. 21 speed.

Spec as follows:

Frame: Rockhopper A1 Aluminium 18" (C-T)
Forks: Double butted cromoly
Headset: Tioga Avenger
Stem: Zoom Competition
Handlebars: Club Roost riser
Brake Levers: Avid SD-1.9 L
Brake Calipers: Avid 1D V-Brakes
Wheels: Shimano Alivio hubs on Araya TM-820 rims
Tyres: Maxxis Ignitor 2.10"
Rear Mech: Shimano STX
Front Mech: Shimano Alivio (I think)
Shifters: Grip Shift 7-Speed
Chainset: Maxima Tracer
Cassette: Shimano
Chain: Taya
Pedals: Welgo platform
Saddle: Viscount Honeycomb Titanium











It has the usual age related scuffs, chips, but no dents. The front mech is quite worn but still shifts okay and the front chainset has a little wobble too. The pedals would benefit from a strip down and re-grease. It does have a bolt in the seat, just not fitted in the pictures. The cassette looks fairly new.

Price: £80. Sold.
Location: Ashford, Kent
Collection is preferred but I can box it up if needed.

Thanks.

Are you sure this is a '98? My first 'real' bike was a '96 A1 and it was identical to yours - it is taking all my power of self not to buy this off you :cry: ! I think the decals were different by '98 ("Specialized" on the down tube, etc).

I was sold it as a '98 but I thought it could be earlier. I did a bit of research and like you said, the decals were the other way around.

I've been using it to get to work on an it's lovely to ride, but is a little small for me so I might have to look for something a bit bigger sadly.

Still for sale if anyone is interested.

Re: 1998 Specialized Rockhopper 18"

I've done a bit more research on this and it seems it is a 1996 model, rather than a 1998 one.
