Same story here: To me - Red Specialized = JMC
I also remember those VHS's free on the front of MBUK - this one here was a favourite of mine:
Hoping the QR will hold ok in the dropout and allow time for chain stretch - time will tell.
Wasn't planning on Vee's though - I quite like the old "not even low profile" Deore Canti's - really good modulation - BITD I was running them right up until '97 when I switched to Magura HS33 blues

I used to have a red hard rock (couldn't afford te rock hopper) with manitou sxr (I think) crud catcher, DCD, XT v brakes and "v brake booster" plate on the back, rode everything on it, expeditions into the malaysian highlands, street, trials, downhill, xc... Took a lot of abuse but flared the headtube eventually, then got a p3 which was a beast. Still got the red spesh frame in the shed like, on my list of build "to dos"... Would love an oldie like yours though.

Same here, the most fun on a bicycle, I watched that tape so much it wore out from all the FWD / RWD I did. The days when mountain biking was defined by ritchey tubing and rock shox. What fun

Bit o "stretch" and that'll fit nicely into the dropouts no?
Upgrading to V brakes as well as changing the levers?
Love old specialized mountain bikes, ever since this free vid I got with either mbuk or total mtb which was all the late 80s/ early 90s guys killing it on fully rigid stumpjumpers.
