Another 90's RockHopper gravel conversion
I restored and converted my dad's 1993 RockHopper Sport into a modernish gravel/fun bike. I remember seeing this thing hanging in my dad's shed for as far back as I can remember and always thought the paint looked so cool. I got halfway through the build before finding this sub and realizing how played out this type of build is, but you guys also inspired me to throw on some snazzy parts to make a look come together.
I stripped it down to the frame and regreased every bearing. Threw a new cassette on the OEM freehub, kept the cranks and the BB because they were in great shape. Microshift Sword groupset, Salsa Cowchipper bars, mild Raceface pedals , and a WTB Volt saddle.
I love this thing and am excited to throw in some gravel/flat riding into my normal singletrack MTB rotation.
