Had a chance to get a SHORT quickie to Fresh Pond, so I took my Stumpy and we're breaking in my friend Mike's NEW Rockhopper!! These new Rockhoppers are very nice for the price. Super comfortable and responsive ride.

Hey those old Rocky's basically got the whole mountain bike thing happening! At the time, they were awesome bikes when we saw those. Still ride it too?

I sure do....! I was actually not riding it much at all outside towing the kids around the local walking path when they were younger. It sat mostly but I converted it to a 1x10 drop-bar gravel bike last winter so I could bust out on a lunch ride really quick... 
it's in my profile pics.

@adm750: Hey yeah, I'll bet that older Rocky makes a great gravel bike! I'm so hooked on the modernizing of the new MTB tech that I sometimes forget to appreciate what really was good about some of those older bikes--when they were getting right anyway, like some of those early Kona FS frames that impressed me so much. I have a friend that still rides his late 90's Cannondale super V and he's converting to disc brake. lol My first dedicated "mountain bike" was a full rigid Trek and that was a lot of fun.

The Rocky's frame is well made, the forks are comfortable. The whole thing feels real solid. We re-bedded the pads and the brakes are real tight now too, and the RED paintjob looks awesome. I'll be installing his RED brake rotor bolts as soon as they arrive!
