Hi!
I am after a bit of help. I am struggling to find anywhere with the 2011 Specialized Rockhopper in White/Red with a 21" frame - http://www.specialized.com/gb/gb/bc/SBC ... spid=51636
I have called so many bike shops and gone through so many websites (even some sites show they have it yet they don't) and I just can't track one of these bikes down anywhere.
This is the bike I've set my heart on so can anyone help or know anywhere that might have one available?
Ta :)

    You do know it's just a frame?

    Better parts can be found on a different frame of equal quality for less money. I'd look else where (even though I do own a RH frame)

    Very true, but I just love the look of the White/Red 2011 RH. Been and sat on the 2012 but they just don't grab me in the slightest is all!

    OK, so I thought I should maybe heed your advice and at least look at some other bikes, so I did a bit of searching through the forum and spotted the BeOne Karma Race 2011 http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=59240
    Looks a good spec, but now that one looks impossible to get hold of too, ahhh!
    I'm obviously a year late with my searching :x

    not that it really matters, but the SL is a 2010 bike not 2011, are you just looking at bikes with a white/red colour scheme ?

    Aaah, I don't think I meant to add the SL to it. I'm guessing I do like that colour combo since the 2 bikes I've seen that I liked have been along those lines :)

    no your right, just been looking, they still have it on the frame even though they seem to have dropped it from the name, so i guess we are both right :lol:

    They don't have it in stock mate despite the website showing different, I phoned them along with a load of others last week and had no joy! Thanks for trying though!

    I've got a 23" that I'm trying to sell, incidentally.
