Hi Coomber
I would say at a quick glance its a 97 or 98 model. The specialized logo on the downtube makes it post 96 as before then it was on the top tube and in 99 the Rockhopper logo was updated and had a long background 'flash' behind it.
I'm judging by the size of the tubes its steel?
Will see what I can find in the books once I get home.
Its a nice frame, I have a Stumpjumper in the same blue with silver decals, though not in as good a condition as yours, its a 95 and that follows the Specialized pattern of using the same scheme on a Rockhopper but a year or two later.

Thanks for the quick reply, yes it is a steel frame. Photo makes it look in better nick then it is really, has quite a bit of paint flaking, quite bad in places. To do it any sort of justice it's getting a sandblast and powdercoat, local company will do it for around £50 which I think is pretty good (including a pair of forks if I can get some).
Thanks for your help. Looking forward to getting it built up.
