A late 90's early 2000's Specialized Rockhopper, restored, upgraded (on a budget) and taken to the trails to see if it would hold up ride like a modern mountain bike.
I got this frame and pretty unusable forks on eBay and wanted to see if I could build it on a budget by shopping around on eBay for new and used parts.
New Parts include: Bars, gear shifter, stem spacers, brakes and levers, wheels and tyres, cranks and pedals, cassette, chain & seat.
Used parts include:
Forks, derailleur & stem
I wanted to restore it but still do something different with it and be able to use it for a longer ride and still hit some trails and it turned out perfect for that.
