I had a 24" wheeled Specialized that looked very similar to that, as a mountain bike / gravel bike growing up in N.M. It was the same weight as my dad's Rockhopper, and he rode the largest frame they made. I suspect the BMX hybrid wasn't much lighter. I believe we moved that thing three times and ended up chopping it up to use the deraileur, chain, and the big cog off the freewheel to turn the oil pump on the big Nasal 3B power hammer in the forge/shop.
