OK so Bobby came down with the bikes yesterday and Matt got a "new" bike.

Bobby had this bike sitting in his shed for a few years and looking it up, it's a 1999 model Hardrock Specialized



Specs here: http://www.bikepedia.com/quickbike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=1999&Brand=Specialized&Model=Hardrock&Type=bike

It's in pretty good shape for a bike lying around. It's got twist shifters but Matt didn't mind them. No suspension and it could use a tune up. The welds are nice

It's a little dirty now but click the images for a full size view and easier reading of the wording.

The welds are nice

I'm sure that's because it has a steel frame.

It is a really nice bike, for a decent bike on the cheap you can't go wrong. Look around CL, they pop up a lot.

Eesh, I was busting about the welds. I know it's a steel frame.

You can't get much cheaper than free! And for the small amount of time Matt rides compared to me, it's a good bike until he knows exactly what he wants. That other çrappy Magna thing is so bad he only got annoyed riding it. At this point, any bike in good working order would suit him! So, now at least he has something decent to gauge off of.

I'd like to drag that thing down the basement for the winter, strip it down, get the frame powder coated if needed, repack all the bearnings, change out those shifters for triggers shifters, find a suspension front fork, change the cables.......
