1983 Specialized
Rock Hopper
My first mountain bike! 1983 Specialized Rock Hopper. It was a bit cheaper than the Stump Jumper, and had heavier tubing, but it still rode real well. We would cut the bars real narrow back then as we rode the Gabrielino trail down from Redbox to JPL and the trail was mostly along a cliff. So yeah, narrow bars were a must.
