Description: FREE LOCAL PICKUP. Contact me to explore shipping options. Best for 5’1″-5’7″ riders. I repainted this indestructible, but badly rusted Hardrock CroMoly steel frame into a cool new color with new logos. This bike is rebuilt with all modern VG Sports components, including 1×10 drivetrain with 34T narrow/wide chainring and 1-36T cassette. Beefed-up 26″ mountain wheels with new Specialized Crossroad tires can be used on paved roads and off-road. It was sad to see the beautiful turquoise 1993 Specialized Hardrock frame pitted and rusted, and I repainted it. It took many hours to de-rust the frame inside and out, remove the old paint, prepare all surfaces for painting, apply several layers of paint, wait for it to settle, and then apply several layers of clear coat. This frame and its color is one of a kind.The new colors are fresh, calm, friendly, and happy combination of Coral frame and Turquoise logos/components. Coral is named after marine invertebrates decorating sea floor. It is extraordinary bright, invigorating and looks very different based on the light: from fluorescent orange in the dark to pink salmon under sunshine. It looks different even based based on the background. It is so bright that it makes surrounding colors look different. That is why it is nearly impossible to depict that on photos. Turquoise is my tribute to the original color Specialized chose for their 1993 Hardrock – it is a mix of green, pale blue and yellow. It takes its name from the gemstone and derives from the French word for Turkish.MORE PHOTOS OF THIS BIKE ON MY WEBSITE: https://bikesheaven.com/1993-specialized-hardrock-16-5-coral-turquoise/ COMPONENTS Frame: Specialized SFS Chromoly steel Cr-Mo, taper stays, forged dropoutsFork: Specialized 1″ threaded Chromoly steerer, large diameter bladesWheels: 26″ Alex Xrims SZ, Joytech hubs, stainless pokes, brass nipplesTires: Specialized Crossroads 26×1.95″Inner tubes: Specialized /Kenda)Crankset: RaceWork XT 104 BCD, 175mm, Hollowtech Integrated 34T narrow/wide chainring and Bottom BracketHeadset: Tangeseki 1″ threaded blackBrake levers: Tektro EclipseChain: Shimano CN-GH54 10-speed with master link for easy disassemblingShifter: VG Sports 10-speed right lever shifter with gear indicatorCassette: VG Sports freewheel 10-speed 11-36TRear derailleur: VG Sports 10-speed MTB Brakes: Shimano SLR CantileverCables and housings: Jagwire LEX-SL blackBell: custom painted in ‘Coral’Seatpost: EVO E-force ALHandlebar grips: SoloDrive lock-on grips with palm restsSaddle: Balugoe ultralightPedals: turquoise Mzyrch composite platform with sealed bearings FREE LOCAL PICKUP.
