I expect I put at least 3000 miles on a 1987 I think it was, perhaps 88 Hardrock Comp.
I tried a rattle can paint job on it that started coming off after a couple of years.
The frame is hanging in the garage possibly awaiting a future build.
A friend built up a cool red Hardrock frame last year I think it was.
I will see if he wants to post a pic of it.
I recall he used Maxxis DTH tires with the dark tan sidewalls.
It really looks sharp.
I also have a set of the Maxxis DTH 26x2.15 in the black that I like a lot.
Thanks cooperryder. Yeah, I think the old Hardrocks are good bikes. My wife and I both purchased new ones in the early '90s, but foolishly sold them a few years ago. I found this one nearby earlier this year. It was all original, even the tires.
Where do you guys locate those early lugged framed mountain bikes? I've never even seen one around here. I'd love to find one.
