Seth may still have his RockHopper.. I think it only had 10 or so rides on it.. I think he was asking $400 or $450 look back in the forsale posts.. I have a brand spanking new out of the box GF Tassahara 16" $600

Got your email. Bike is in FL and I'm in Cali. But if your friend goes to the 07 archive of specialized, its the black with grey writing. I'll let it go for 400$. Should fit your friend just fine. It's in excellent condition, nate can attest to that. Let me know if he wants it and I'll have my brother meet you with the bike.

Yes its an 07, bought it for my wife for mothers day and its sat in the garage unridden since.. Other than about a mile around the neighboyhood. Shes 5'9 and Im about the same and it fits me ok. Can always go with a larger stem or layback post. If he wants to test it out let me know.. Might be a little tight if hes taller than 5-9..

maybe the bike, but NOT his wife...

Seth, that Rockhopper is sounding like a great deal, I will pass the info to him. I think he will definitely want to see the bike, what will be the easiest way to contact your brother? My cell is 776 9298

Eric, what are the specs on the Tassa? Is it the disc version?
