Specialized (model unknown!)

[Hitshot]

Good evening everyone. A friend of my mother’s has had this sitting in her garage for years and asked me to have a look at it to give her a steer on whether it’s worth anything.
It appears to be a Specialized of some sort although the frame has clearly been (poorly) repainted at some stage so I’m not sure.
It’s got some pretty decent components on it though - particularly of course the Pace fork. The flex stem appears to work fine.
The whole thing needs a thorough clean, gears lubed and indexed etc but with the frame stripped down and repainted I think it could be really nice.
Any advice on what it might be worth would be appreciate. If anyone is interested I can put you in touch with the lady whose looking to get rid of it.
I know she wouldn’t be capable of dismantling the bike to sell the components separately so I’m afraid there wouldn’t be any opportunity for that.
Thanks.

Cannot really help with value but where is the bike located?

This doesn't belong here. I've requested a mod move it to the appropriate thread

If you'd split the bike it's around 200-250 and alot of effort.
Quick sale, 175?
Just a guesstimate.

Thanks for moving to the appropriate forum and for responses so far.
The bike is located in Bristol

That looks like a heavily upgraded '93 rock hopper.

Can't say the frame has any value in that condition, but the fork is probably 150-200 and the ground control tyres might be worth something if they aren't knackered.

Xt stuff will sell, but it's not Megabucks. So I reckon £175-200 is probably a good price

Thanks very much for your feedback.
I think I’ll clean it up a bit, have a closer look at the components and all being well put it on for £225. I’m sure the owner would be happy with that.

In parts it’s worth at least £300 so £225 so not be out of the question complete.

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback.
