Best for 6’2″-7’0″ riders. One of the last Rockhoppers made with CroMoly steel frame.

This is CJ’s bike now. This Rockhopper has seen better times, and its frame showed definite signs of wear. It didn’t stop me from restoring it, and it didn’t stop CJ from adopting it. Having a much newer bike at home, CJ rides this unbeatable beater all over Bay Area, and even took it to the snow in Colorado. A good rider makes any bike awesome!
