Specialized Street Stomper
Picked this one up for when my daughter heads off to college in a few years, a late 80s Specialized Street Stomper. Nothing high-end, but an ideal campus cruiser.

I rebuilt a late 70s 80s Rockhopper for my nephew to use as a college cruiser. He's finished college and he still has the bike so miracles sometimes do really happen.

A late 70s Rockhopper would indeed be a unique beast!

Those Street Stompers were heavy, but such a great cruiser.
