Specialized Rockhoppers
I'm new into bikes. My first tour was in Central Asia, and I bought a 90's rockhopper and with a little help from some nice bicycle shop employees turned it into a touring beast. I have been fascinated by Rockhoppers since and now that I have the time I want to fix them up myself from the frame up. I bought two cheap models, one for fun and one for me and need help with the year. I actually need some advice and resources on the older models in general. One is 19" , with the frame saying off road cr mo custom butted direct drive, and is black. The other one is maroon , 13.5" and says double butted cro mo direct drive, and also has a step through frame. Any ideas on the years? any info is appreciated !

On the bottom of the bottom bracket there should be a line of digits.
My 1987 Rock Hopper begins with the digits 007, so the 3rd digit is the last number of the model year.
Check that serial number to determine model year.
