Snap! My dad's got the same bike, recently did it up for him. Not sure why as he's not exactly short of bikes was just bored during lockdown. I had a hard rock with 15 inch frame (looked the same size as your rock hopper) and it was just brilliant, carried a lot of weight in panniers with no problem at all and was such a good handling bike.
I replaced the bottom bracket, chain, cables, wheel bearings.
Took it out for a spin but a MTB with narrow bars and non short stem felt sooo sketchy haha. Also need to get rid of the forks, they work by compressing rubber, apparently cutting edge as the time.
