Specialized Hardrock 1992

While the Hardrock was considered an adventure bike when new, in modern terms it is basically a flat bar gravel bike. This is a great all-rounder and with the current road tires on the bike, it would be an ideal neighborhood pub cruiser, long hauler, commuter or awesome pathway bike!

great video . I still have a 1992 20 inch black Hardrock . I took off all the 200GS and made it full XT with last gen XT cantis and xtr shifter lever etc.. I have since removed all the XT/xtr and it is now destined to be on my first HARO aluminum frame in the spring. New subscriber here ! cheers from Nova Scotia , Canada !

I daily a 1993 marin Eldridge grade mtb. Its been an absolute beast. Getting me to the pub 50km+ mtb adventures. I love the deore 3*7 28,36,42*11-28 setup the steel fork really bends and scoots on the trail dampening the roots and holes. Its only 13,8 kg not even that heavy for steel.
