For sale: Specialized Rockhopper 04’ 26inch love PRICE DROP!

Hey everyone,

Selling this (neo-retro?) Specialized Rockhopper in a 21” frame. It’s had a very wet, cold life and this shows in the condition of the frame (see pics for paint bubbles and corrosion). It is absolutely NOT a minter but it absolutely IS awesome fun to tear around on the trails.

I think it’s a 2004 bike but I am unsure as some of the components are a bit more up to date.

Shimano Hydro discs (work perfectly)
Lx Rear mech, XT front
Deore shifters
Whole drivetrain has just been dismanted and re assembled for total de-grease and re-lube
Manitou Axel forks (work well)
Sunringle front rim on spesh hub
Mavic X321 rear rim on deore hub
The bars and stem faded to gold in the sun. Needs new grips
Brand new Continental Mountain king front tyre
Original saddle and post

This could be an awesome commuter with a set of slicks on, or perfect if you just wanna give mountain biking a go!

In regards to the condition of the frame I’m looking for £150 complete collected from Camberwell. I am happy to cycle it into Central (Soho area) if you want to meet in the middle!

Any Q’s please ask, thanks :)

Forgive my ignorance on all things mtb but what height rider would this suit?

Hey, I am 6ft on the dot. I think someone at 5’10 would be squeezing it on the large size if you actually wanted to have a good fit. Between 5’10 and 6’3 I’d say. Plenty of movement on the saddle with the QR clamp meaning someone at 5’6 could still ride it and reach pedals.. would just be a bad fit
For reference the saddle in the photo was set for me at 6ft

Yeah no worries, I suspected as much. It’s a tad on the large size for me then.
Glws, looks like a proper bargain!
