First post, first vintage bike.
Hello,
Stumbled upon this clean 89 Rock Hopper this week. Story is it was ridden for two weeks, and stored for 30 years in a shed. It cleaned up pretty darn well, and rides nice. Geometry is different than what I'm used to, but I'm comfy on it, whether it looks that way or not.
I was looking for a rigid bike to pull the kids' trailer with, as my plus tire MTB doesn't do the job real well. This one will do. It's 100% original, down to tubes and tires, and I intend to keep it that way.
Glad I found this place, as I'm sure I'll have questions on this one as I go...but it doesn't seem to need anything to make it rideable right now. I'll post pics as soon as I'm able (10 post min).
