Just picked up this seemingly-older Specialized, and was wondering if you guys could tell me about it?
It's a Rockhopper, and the serial number looks like CP894169
(sorry for the potato-quality pics)
It's got brakes down low which I haven't seen before, but I'm not a "bike guy" by any stretch of the imagination, so I don't know how common that is.
My other Specialized (I'll probably ask about that later once I can get pics) had the brakes up high, and I actually had a kickstand down below, which I'd contemplated doing with this one ... but now I see they make kickstands that attach further back near the rear axle.
One thing I'm curious about, the part of the frame where the seat post inserts is kinda flared or splayed out in a sense ... is this normal or is it damage?
