1989 Hardrock project.

[VanDam]

I picked up this bike this spring for a good deal because it was a CroMo frame and fork and these just ride so nicely and I’m just not a fan of alloy frames. I have tore it down and greased everything and have started to put something back together that will be a cruse around town bike. Just waiting on some grips and cable housings at this time.

Progress thus far.

Hardrocks are rad, so much potential from an affordable, and often overlooked platform. I have 3 in the fleet

I'm going to end up with a thumb shifter, I just cant bring myself to cut down a new grip.

Looks great!

Built this with myself in mind and I have only gotten to ride twice because my 12 your son decided he loves it. Funny how that works.

The same thing happened to me with my 14 year old son (now 16) and my 26" SE OM Flyer. I put 9.5" rise bars on it and he thought that it was the best thing since sliced bread. I haven't ridden it since.

Nice makeover, looks like a ton of fun!

My DiamondBack 24 is in the same peril.
