Why, if in a moment of insanity you decide to hop rocks,
you are more than adequately equipped.
Your bike will survive effortlessly and wait while you recover from your injuries.
I dated a petite lady for a time. A welder. She could run a bead so straight and even it never varied a mm.
She would slow a job down though. Folks would stop what they were doing just to watch her work.
She dumped me.
Said the spark was gone.
But I digress.
Specialized RockHopper 24
18 Speed.
Sets a biking standard.
Never let you down. (unless you're hopping rocks. Bike has no ability to redress Goofy)
Less aggressive rubber. Fine for asphalt or dirt.
Back at the end of February when I saw a Chinese gentleman on the news aim an IR thermometer at someone's forehead I rushed to find mine and shot my forehead. Heretofore it had only taken the temp of output transistors. February- Forehead 91.4 degrees. Today 4/25/20 91.5 degrees. I seem to be crud free. If you should opt to buy yourself this fineass bicycle, I'll scrub up and place it so you can have a cruise or we can social distance exchange. It's so disinfected you could lick it. But don't lick it. Just don't.

by far the best written advertisement I have ever had the privilege of reading, and if I lived anywhere near Vermont I'd be on that bike like Le Mond on a podium. I hope it has found a worthy rider.
