1998 Hardrock Sport. Not the fanciest bike, but it's at least DB chromoly and in really great shape. And the top tube is about 22.5", right where I like it for drop bar bikes .

Oh, and it was free!

Trying to decide what route to go with it - either keeping the V-brakes and running drop bar levers with barcons or switch to cantis and run an 8 speed Campy Mirage triple group.

This will be my second experience with 26" wheels, the first being a 1985 Mirada that I did not get along with at all. This geometry looks a lot steeper in the front end so I think it will be a bit better feeling ride for me.
