1991 Specialized Hardrock Cruz 18" (Medium/Large) white

Custom built simple, colorful, and fun to drive urban cruiser with super comfortable upright riding position and just enough gears to get around town in style. 

Indestructible and light 18″ ChroMoly steel frame and fork, all new modern components (most in red anodized aluminum) including 1-by-7 Shimano drivetrain, 7-speed Shimano MegaRange freewheel with large 34T cog for easy climbing, Maxxis Pace 26×1.95″ gravel tires. I rebuilt both wheels with new stainless spokes.

This bike was donated by Yulia. All steel parts of this bike were badly rusted, – it was kept outside under the ocean breeze for too long. The wrame had numerous rust spots and chipped paint, so I completely de-rusted and repainted the frame in bright yellow with bright red logos and installed all new components.

Best for 5’5″-5’11” riders
