1988 Specialized Rockhopper Comp
Hi there guys I would like to get some feedback on the value of a 1988 Specialized Rockhopper Comp that I recently bought.I'm not a bike expert but from I found out this bike has everything original except the saddle,handle bars and the stem.I'm attaching a picture as it looked when I bought it a week ago.
Thanx in advance:
Joe

As pictured and as-is condition, $50 tops IMHO. The tires are not original, they appear to be Kenda K838s. In clean ready to ride condition with a complete overhaul, maybe $175.

Thanx guys I bought the bike for $18 and now has another seat and another handlebars,I was gonna sell the bike but I guess I'm gonna keep it cause I like how it rides,brakes are very good and gears shift very smooth.I will be just hitting the bike trail to burn some calories

With a garage full of nice bikes, the last vacation I went on, I chose my 1988 Cimmaron LE. Took it to a couple of national parks, rode some city trails, etc.
