Ha, that's the
exact same setup I have...an early/mid 90s Rockhopper (that I bought used when I was 16), that a few years ago I converted to street tires. It's totally 90s retro...Chromo frame, early Rockshox, good old Grip Shift, even still has my Cat Eye Miti computer.
It's such a nice, comfortable, all-around bike. Ive considered getting a new one before, but I can't really see the point in spending $1k+ on a bike when the one I have seems to do the job pretty well.
