I Need Help Identifying This Retro Bike.

[Matthew8606]

On the other hand, they're fantastic bikes for riding around. I have a Hardrock that I bought in 94, still love it as much to this day. So much so, in fact, that when the opportunity arose a few years ago, I bought two more, used 2010 Hardrocks for the wife and I. Your example is better equipped than mine was, and it served well doing lift serviced downhill in Quebec in the 90s. I was keeping up with friends (unskilled teens, more guts than brains) on full suspension bikes.

I was thinking about airing up the tires and taking it for a spin. It looks like it would be a fun ride.

I've got a similar bike from the same year, and i say it's a very comfortable ride, with a coolness factor added.

I was going to sell it but I just might keep it for myself. I like all the positive reviews.

Does it say "custom gauge triple butted" on the decal above the bottle cage?
