I also picked up a brand new '05 Rockhopper from my LBS 2 weeks ago. Couldn't be any happier either. Bike has been great so far. Got a great deal from Bell's Bike Shop in North Miami Beach $399.99 + tax. Bought their last 19'' yellow frame. Salesperson told me they would not be ordering anymore 2005’s Specializeds, because the 2006’s would be out in about 2 months.
