1989 Specialized Rockhopper Comp 24" (Extra Large) Ivory/Safety-Blue
This is an extra large frame, best for 6’5″-7’6″ riders. This frame is in excellent condition, with all original decals. None of the after-market decals match the original decals – just look at the closeup photos to see it. Designed in the USA, handmade in Taiwan.
The 1989 Specialized catalog indicates the largest Rockhopper Comp frame made this year was 21.5″; however, this is certainly an original frame and it measures 24″ as shown in unsorted restoration pics.
This is Jesper’s frame now.
