What year is my Rockhopper?

[Drummerboy1975]

Can anyone help me determine the year of my Specialized Rockhopper I just picked up? All Diacomp/Shimano. I have the serial number as well if there is a database.

Nice set-up on that bike, did you pay for a bike fitting?

I think your bike is a 1995 Rockhopper A1.

15yard penalty, unnecessary roughness.

A1's were only made in 95&96.

Funny there's no serial number database for Rockhoppers. Maybe someone should start one. There can't be that many out there, right?

Saddle position is Devilock approved!

i think a suspension seatpost would look at home on that bike.

another good upgrade would be grip shift x rays.

What's not to like? Solid bike, not too different from my Rockhopper FS ('98 or '99) with "nitanium" tubing, it rides a lot like steel. yours is aluminum. ride it the way it is, put some miles on it, adjust it so it feels right. ride the bike it will last a long time, enjoy!

I love old bikes.
You don't have to get the latest and greatest to enjoy mountain biking.

I'm stoked you fixed the saddle angel and got some dirt on those tires.
