in response to Cadd's querry. The specs for the '06 plain jane rockhopper arren't aren't listed on the specialized website. I can confirm that after seeing one in person at the LBS it has Deore and LX all around. The bike tech agreed w/ "Too Rass Goat that Deore is now more middly of the road but very durable just not as light as some of the higher end shimano. I took a 17 and a 21 inch around the parking lot, but decided that a 19 would be perfect. They only had one in this I thought ugly Berry Punk color. They have orderded me a 19inch in the new black color scheme similar to the '06 hard rock, its just an unbelievably good looking biking, especially sitting next to the rainbow chrome monstrosities from trek and giant. Anyways here are some links w/ the specs
