I was gifted a Specialized Rockhopper Sport (garage sale find for $5). The pic in the snow on page 1 is the closest I've found on the internet. Mine is rideable, but has lots of stickers, dirt, grime, and rust on it, so it's going to be a fixer upper to some extent. The closest clue I have to my vintage is a stamp on the stem that says 22.2 Taiwan 90-1.

Wondering if this is a collectors item to be restored as vintage, or it's going to be used as a commuter/fun bike. It's got Suntour drive, with plastic brake handles that I'm not too fond of, but the shifting looks like fun.
