Specialized Rockhopper Sport (Womens?)
I have a 14" Specialized Rockhopper Sport that I think is a womens, based on the colour scheme shown in the 1990 catalogue in the archive. It is sort of greeny/turquoise with Pinky-purple decals. However mine has the brake beneath the chainstays, which is not the case in the catalogue - maybe different spec for uk as catalogue is germanic?
The bike is pretty much original and in decent nick, as always garaged, I've had it from new so can vouch for that 100%. It has various bits of Deore LX stuff on, STI triggers, 21 spd etc, as per the manufacturer spec. Only things not original are seat, tyres, and front wheel. The frame has some chips and cable rub, but zero rust or dints. I still ride it to the shops occassionally and everything works superbly. I've kept it maintained because I love how it rides.
Currently trying to fund a new new build and wondered if the old beauty is likely to be worth anything? Any ideas - I know Spesh of this era is reasonably collectable?
I'll try and post pics later, but I've just broken mi camera while in the garage trying to photgraph it!
