Mountain Biking - 2004 Specialized Rockhopper

Hey guys, I'm on the verge of buying a 2004 Specialized Rockhopper. I was wondering if anyone owns one or has ridden one, and if so, please give me your opinion of it.

Thanks!!

cjperera. Give it a month or two they JUST came out.

I know, but I like the Rockhopper, and the 2004 is cheaper than the 2003, and comes with similar or better components (fork etc)

That's weird that it's cheaper and it just came out! :confused:

I bought my 2004 hardrock for the same price and it has better components... than the 2003 hardrock i was going to buy

whcih hardrock did you get?

whats the rockhopper weight?

Not sure, I weighed in a '04 rockhopper Comp at the store and it was about 29lbs. I could be wrong... so I'm guessing that the standard Rockhopper is around 30lbs.

anyway, too late...

I now have a 2004 Rockhopper sitting in my living room... can't wait to get outside tomorrow!!

I'll see what I can do...

MindBogger, I bought a 2004 Specialized Sport Disc, £400 really good deal, Was going to have a 2003 hardrock Comp, But they didnt have any and they offered me this instead

Just had my first XC ride on the rockhopper today.... still getting used to it.... I used to ride an old schwinn 9six hardtail... Was a smaller frame, and really light, so the rockhopper doesn't feel as nimble.. I'll try and get pics soon

I bought a Blue 04 Rockhopper 1 month ago, v nice bike. Its not the lightest but its one tough frame that will last for years. Only prob is no lockout on front fork(bit of a pain climbing off the seat)but at a discounted £475 it was a bargain. I would recommend the bike to anyone wishing to abuse the bike on heavy trails as i think it can stand the hammer.

Good choice of bike m8, hope your happy with it.

hey cj congratz on ur new bike ~ i kinda live around ya (woodbridge, CT). From where did you pick up your bike and how's it holding up -- i was considering looking at the rockhopper comp frame and i wanna know how you like the rock geometry.

What is the difference in a rockhopper and a rockhopper comp ... I justy gave 450 for a 2004 rockhopper comp , is that too much?
