as a Specialized Hard Rock owner

No one owns a Specialized Hard Rock, they merely borrow it from future generations.

Love it!!

Things that money can't buy:

Me nearly 20 years ago:

Me last week:

Recognise that paint job?? :-D

I seriously think that the low/mid end range bikes will go up in value in a few years, as many are destroyed as commuters or "pub bikes" (oh how much I hate that phrase) and they become rarer. This isn't why I keep mine - doesn't matter how much it's worth to me at all, but it is strange that I could buy a Merlin or Fat or Yeti most weeks but it took me a couple of months to find a 92 Tequesta and I haven't seen one for sale since I got it (and I have been looking too - I need an 18"!).

That back tyre looks a bit flat in pic 1

Not early 90s, but my '96 nearly finished Stumpjumper.......
