My new commuter.
 

I bought a Specilized Rockhopper (88,89) out of the paper for $25. I took everything off and painted the frame(had some small rust spots). I was amazed at how well it has held up. It has Exage 500 LX components. A good set of wheels with Shimano FH-HG50 hubs. I have ordered new cables, tires, and grips. It came with a brand new set of Psycho-II tires. I have been riding my Felt to work and it is not the best for the job. Well I just wanted to share my new(old) bike with everyone. I think it is going to be a great commuter.

That looks like a great commuter. I ride an old GT timberline (no suspension) for commuting and it works great. Nice ride.

Should be awesome. :D

Beater commuter bikes are always great - much less attractive to thieves than a flashy roadie....

Feltup...............didn't your mother tell you never to leave a sock on the floor?

My mother died giving birth to my twin sister. I hate her for killing my mom!

Just kidding. :D

Actually that is my 4 year old son's sock, I will have to have a talk with him. ;)

That's great. That's exactly the kind of bike I'd like to get for rainy commutes and pulling a trailer. I better start scanning the classifieds.

sweet ride
 

thats an awesome bike to convert to a singlespeed. for some reason back then specialized thought it was a good idea to have semi-horizontal drops and a derailluer hanger. my SS MTB is an old specialized hard rock....you should find another commuter and make the specialized your SS!!!!!

If you need a headtube sticker I got plenty. What's wrong sissy boy, that felt too nice to ride to work now. I could have made you a deal on an old Trek 1200. Somewhere around $1165.00.

You need another seat? I got an old Vetta TT and that Diamondback with a cutout.

Nice ride. And I agree with legalize_it, that would look great with just one gear. Most bikes do...

Yeah that would be a good price. I wonder what you would do with the money?

Would you get that white bike with the carbon stays?

Thin tires
 

How about thin tires man?! If that's my bike I'd put the equivalent of 700x25C or 28C. I just like a little faster that that if you catch my drift.
Corsaire

Already done. I didn't mention that in the first post. I now have slicks, a new seat and new grips. The first day I rode it to work the chain snapped. I was able to fix it on the side of the road and finish my commute. Now I have a new chain and cheap computer coming. :D

Here is a thought: fenders

NEVER! :(
