A friend of mine picked up this 99-00' Rockhopper Comp for $2 at a garage sale. He had no idea if it was a decent bike ornot. He asked me if it was worth saving, because it needs quite a few parts. I figured out, brand ne it will need about $200 in Deore LX Mega 9s parts and a new crank to get it up up to snuff. I plan to shope Ebay to try and save as much as I can, since it is a heavily used bike, and I want to minimize his investment to get it up and runniing. It has quite a few scuffs and scratches, but absolutely no dents, kinks or bends in the frame. It reall is in pretty good shape, ,and fully servicable. Anyway, time to start Ebay shopping. :D
Here's a pic.

Also, I need your help. This bolt came with the bike, taped to the saddle in a plastic bag. What the heck is it?
It's not a crank bolt or something for the V-brakes. Nor is it for the seat clamp. It is too big for that. I've never seen one like this before.
