• OK this is having to make way for another bike so here goes...

    1989 Specialized Rockhopper Comp - a rare 23" frame hand stripped by myself, polished back and clear coated. See below for pic of bike built up recently.

    Selling as a rolling chassis - If nobody wants the whole lot then i'll be splitting it up so DM or comment if there are certain parts you fancy and i'll make a note. Or if there's some bits you want and some bits you don't we can work it out.

    Including:

    1989 Pace RC30 fork - New longer steerer custom made by a guy who used to work at Pace

    • Original fork included - stripped and sanded back

    Nitto x Rivendell bullmoose handlebars (the fillet brazed version) - some scuffs but still beautiful

    Tange sealed headset - barely any use

    Paul Funky Monkey canti hanger - pretty much new

    Nitto rear cable hanger

    Shimano square taper BB - not mega smooth but no play

    Seatpost - pretty generic but it fits!

    Front Wheel - 98 GT Barrel hub on Halo White Lines, DT butted spokes, Schwalbe Racing Ray 26X2.25 (folding / tubeless / addix compound)

    Rear wheel - Shimano Parrallax on Halo White Lines, DT butted spokes, Schwalbe Rocket Ron 26X2.25
    (folding / tubeless / addix compound)

    £325 for the lot

    I'm based in Newcastle but can ship if necessary no bother.

    I also have a set of Mafac cantis (front is the rarer wide profile tandem version) with Kool Stop Eagle 2 pads and some Suntour XC Sport mechs available.

  • Dang! I would take this off your hands immediately if I were still in the UK. Such a sick build. GLWS!

  • Lovely… sorry to be the first, but if split, could I take the handlebar pending price?
    The RC30 fork would fetch a decent penny on its own over somewhere like Retrobike, probably £100-plus.

  • Yeah, the fork is amazing - though probably not many 180cm headtube bikes out there it would fit in as it is!

  • Nice! Can I ask how tall you are? I’ve always found 21/22” frames a bit small but 23” sounds huge

  • i'm 6'4" and it fit me really nice

  • This is lovely. GLWS.
