Rock hoppers any good?

[Gtlts]

opinions please on a mid 90s specialised Rock hopper is it worth buying if in good nick to fix up and use

Model is a "comp", think a 1995 model in a purple colour and rock shox quadras

If the price is right, then, absolutely, a RockHopper would be worth buying. In their different incarnations, RockHoppers have been an entry point into mountain biking for over three decades now. Lots of fun has been had on them.

60 quid

That's a good price for one in good nick. If it fits you well and you treat it well, you could get many years of enjoyment out of that.

If it fits you, then at £60 you can’t go far wrong, they’re not bad bikes.

I had a 1991 comp, a decent bike and not what I’d have called a gateway or entry (that’s the hard rock IMO), it was a great bike.

Yep, I've always thought of Rockhopper as their mid level bike (although that might not be true nowadays). £60 for one that fits and is not in immediate need of big repairs is good value.

I have a couple mid-90's aluminum 'hoppers, these are quality frames.

Think I might have to go for it so
