UPDATED HARDROCK

Retro Specialized Hard Rock with a few bits of modern kit. Budget-friendly parts to keep an old ripper rolling.

They really don’t make ‘em like they used to. This steel Specialized frameset has most certainly seen a few adventures but all the mechanical parts were tired and in need of replacement.

We brought it a little more up-to-date with a contemporary Shimano Cues groupset and new finishing kit.

Clean looks, chill riding position, and a robust build without breaking the bank.
