89 (?) Specialized Rock Hopper.



I bought this bike several years ago for $40 at a yard sale and had used it as a commuter/grocery-getter/trailer-hauler. When the twins outgrew the Chariot we gave it to their cousin, and I gave their dad the bike to pull it. Now that she's outgrown the Chariot, her dad returned the bike. I am thinking of just leaving it up at my folks' place in Tahoe City, but it's such a great do-it-all bike, it's easy to justify keeping around.

I do need to replace the straight bars. The 20 minute ride to work this morning reminded me of that. A dove or mustache bar, probably, if I can find one that will be the correct dimension for the brake and shifter clamps.
