I think those Panaracer Smoke & Dart tires were offered in 700C sizes in the 90's. Looks like an early 29'er to me. Can you read us the tire dimensions and rim size for us? Hopefully that can narrow...

I'm coming around to the '94 theory too. Maybe the block letter Hardrock logo was a euro-only thing? It's frustrating that most of the catalog scans are German, and that some years have a lot of gaps...

I did too much sleuthing on this, but didn't turn up anything conclusive. My guess would be 1996. 95 and 96 were the only years with this pointy version of the Hardrock logo on the down tube. The...

I think 1990 was the only year they used the outlined "SPECIALIZED" wordmark on the top tube. The German catalog shows the bike in blue and magenta, but the US must have gotten plain ol' red instead....

Quoting Vintage Trek website: "92, sour grape with purple tinted clear coat and white decals"

$50 is a heck of a price for a carbon bike with full XTR. Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for answering my question about the Brooks. Once it got a little warmer I rode for a bit on it and confirmed my suspicion that it wasn't rideable as-is.

I think it's an add-on. It's pretty common for rigid mtbs to be "upgraded" with a suspension fork. They changed the saddle, stem, and shifters too. Plus it looks like they were liberal with frame...
