From the photo, it looks to have a 25.4 / 1 1/8" threaded stem/fork, but I can't be 100% sure from the photo scale.
If someone with a knowledge of Specialized model years doesn't respond with a really good answer, and the bike has Shimano derailleurs, they may be original equipment and could give a rough date. Look on the back side (the side facing the wheel or left side of the bike) on the parallelogram (rear derailleur) or derailleur cage (front derailleur) for a two-letter code separate from other lettering on that side. This can then be used to get the manufacturing date of those components, which if original can give an approximation of model year.

It's a 1994 Hardrock FS
The bike can be seen in these 2 catalog scans:
https://www.retrobike.co.uk/archive/...-catalogue.84/
https://www.retrobike.co.uk/archive/...catalogue.740/
Both catalogs have the bike specs but they don't list the steering tube size.
