This is my 2009 Specilaized Rockhopper Expert, its my first proper mountain bike after catching the mbt bug abord a Giant Boulder. I picked this up from ebay last year and all I can say is I love it! It has fueled a massivie cycling addication in general- Enjoy!

One of the nicer bits of kit fitted to the rockhopper- a Thompson Elite X4 stem, and it was free!

Treated my self to some lock on grips after christmas- these are Charge Sponges, they're nice and low profile and come in a bling metallic blue.

At the moment I have the excellent Maxxis High Roller tyres fitted- mine are 1.9's and keep me nice and planted on my muddy local trails.

This is due to be fitted this weekend- a Shimano SLX 9 speed cassette to replace the one on the bike now.

    Cheers- my legs are quite long but I just realised that the saddle is that high because I haven't put it down after doing so work to it in a repair stand!!! I'm not a giant, really...
