Nice! The 2006 pro was the best looking rockhopper imo, and the recons went perfect.
If you know anyone selling one in good nick be sure to holla me.

if it wasn't for the wear on the crank arms, i'd have said its never been used that looks in amazing condition, very nice

Hehe, if I'm honest it has had a year or two off duties as I had newborn baby duties. It's been back in full use now for a while It's a great bike and a joy to ride at places like Whinlatter, GT & Cannock Chase.
I just make sure it's cleaned after every ride and serviced often etc etc. Have thought about selling to fund a full-suss, but can't bring myself to do it

What frame size is it? i ask because I read somewhere the 2006 models had 18" available.

Rockhopper_tm

It's a 19".
