[QUOTE=Connguy1956;23711525]I bought this 90s Hard Rock awhile ago. Looking at the catalog for its year model (1996) I saw that the stock bars were steel.

A previous owner swapped out to Easton CT2. Is there much difference in weight between carbon and steel bars? I see that they didn’t cost much. I guess it was a worthy upgrade.

Also not stock is the saddle. It originally came with suspension saddle.


one other weird mystery is that it has a Shimano 33-8 shifter set, but all the year model Hard Rocks I see in online catalogues only have 3x7
