I also found a 1994 catalog that had the bike but in a different color scheme however below it was a picture of tubing from a different color of the same bike so its possible it came in two different colors that year.
1994 Small Catalog I see what you are saying about the blocky letters on the sport model.
this one looks almost identical but has blocky letters for the hardrock branding

Thanks for all that. Funnily enough, I found all the same stuff during my search as well - including the Flickr page lol.
I guess its possible they just changed the style of the Hard Rock decal at some point during production because everything else about the frame is a match. So I guess we'll go with it being a '94.
It's a 7 speed currently - if i want to update to a more modern 9 speed i need to get a new wheel right? This hub will only fit a 7 speed, correct?
