Girls version of the classic do-it-all mountain bike – 1993 Specialized Rockhopper Mega 24. Best for 4’5”-5’2” riders.

Lightweight (26lbs!) and indestructible CroMoly frame, 24” diameter wheels, 12-speed drivetrain, beautiful pink frame, all-terrain tires. The frame of this bike is not as spotlessly perfect as my other restorations, but it didn’t stop my daughter from enjoying this bike.

This is Kim’s bike now.
