Specialized Rockhopper A1 PRO (2001)

This was my first mountain bike which I bought second hand. Over the next three years it easily paid me back. Eventually the desire for disc brakes and better forks saw it retired from regular use. I have still have the frame which I will no doubt build up at some point.
