ALL ORIGINAL COMPONENTS IN SHOWROOM CONDITIONS! Best for 5’2″-5’8″ riders. Specialized built this Rockhopper with master framebuilder Tom Rithey who rode at the original Rockhopper races. This bike has Ritchey Logic Nitanium tubing (CroMoly steel with Niobium and Titanium), Ritchey SC/OCR 32° stem, and Ritchey’s SCX/OCR rims. Light (only 27lbs), 27-speed Shimano Deore LX transmission, RockShox Jett T2 front shocks, and all terrain tires. I think it is the last steel-framed Rockhopper model.

This is Aruna’s bike now.
