I have a specialized hard rock Sport 2004.

I got it a few months ago, and bashed the big chainring up front in the first week

The left crankshaft fell off when I was 5 miles from home, for no reason, riding on pavement. Had to go to LBS to get that fixed.

Yesterday, I rode the Berryman trail in MO... my chain broke on 5th mile (whats up with the 5 mile pattern..) so I pulled out my parktools multi.

And broke the damn chain tool, too. So I had to run back home with the bike up hill most of the way (dang shame, I could have coasted )

I had some bad bad luck, I guess.. Oh yeah, I'm down with a broken tailbone from yesterday, but thats a whole different story!

I had a 1994 specialized Hard rock, steel with no suspension, and it ROCKED, no major problems with it that didnt come from my stupidity (busted two back wheels with badly mangled bunnyhops over curbs)

Bad luck I guess I already want to upgrade to a stumpjumper.... turn the hard rock into a street bike, with slicks and stuff.

Money sucks. heh.
