1988 Specialized Rockhopper Comp Restoration Project
Hi guys!
Short story of the bike is, I found it at a shop selling used bikes that came from the US. First thing I noticed on the bike is the understay brakes. Hit me hard. Then, the paint job. The previous owner decided to repaint the bike (it was horrible). At first I didn’t even knew it was a Rockhopper. But after a few research etc, it’s confirmed.
So I brought it home, strip it down, and start on the project.
This restoration project took me about a week plus from start to finish. Spend most of the time stripping off the repaint layer.
Was thinking of repainting the bike using the same color code, but ended up preserving the original paint. There are some chips here and there, but remaining it that way is the best choice I’ve made.
And i also finish it off with a good coat of clear paint. Just to preserve it for the days to come.
All parts from the bike is totally usable. The only foreign parts is the tires, cables, decals, and saddle. Other from that, it’s all original.
Feel free to drop any comments or ask any questions.
Thank you!
