1993 Specialized Hardrock Ultra 18 violet cranberry

Classic do-it-all mountain bike. Best for 5’5”-5’11” riders.  Light and indestructible CroMoly steel frame in stunning cranberry purple, 21-speed Shimano drivetrain, 26”x1.95” urban tires. I accentuated the bright yellow logo on the frame with yellow saddle, pedals, handlebar grips, and cable housings.

This is Logan’s bike now.
