I have an old Specialized Rockhopper Comp that is just a tad too small for me, I ride a 21 inch mountain bike generally and on the low end I can pull off a 19 inch with the seat post extended as far out as it can go but just stick to buying 21 inch bikes because, well, it only makes sense!

BUT

that old Rockhopper is an 18 inch frame, I am attached to the bike for whatever reason and have considered just selling it but every time I do I end up putting it back in the pile, I think that it has something to do with its the first bike that I "refurbed" since getting back into riding.

My question is, are there any issues with putting a longer seat post and some short riser bars onto it and riding it? the riser bars may not even be necessary honestly, I have ridden this bike as far as about 7 miles as it sits and is really a third bike so doesn't get ridden too often by me.

and because pictures are always fun.


Thanks for any help guys and gals.
