Specialized Rockhopper Age

[Mr Tim]

Hi all! I'm after finding a bit of information about this Rockhopper I bought on the weekend. It's in good condition all around and rides well!

I think it is about 1998 but I can't find an exact match using the files in the archive section on here!

It's a 19inch Frame
It has 3 x 7 Alivio drivetrain
V-Brakes

Any information would be gratefully recieved!

The threaded headset dates it to before 1998 ; the cable noodle beside the seat post shows it was not supplied with V-brakes so again pre 1997, the Alivio chainset, silver stem and seat post suggest about 1996.....however the frame colour of grey isn't one I can find in the various catalogs I have for 94-97.

Serial number unlikely to help but you could still try posting it here, it'll be underneath the bottom bracket

I think it's a '95 in "Bronze Satin". Repacker is right: the V-brakes are a later addition.

Here's a more original one, photographed from the business side.

Great! I thought the colour looked a good match in that catalogue but I couldn't piece it together! I didn't even notice the cable noodle when I picked it up! Seems the grip shifters have been swapped out as well! Thanks a lot!
