I'm currently riding a 1995 Specialized Rockhopper Comp A1 that I've been slowly upgrading. Watching this video makes me feel a lot more justified in keeping the old bike!
great rebuild - you've got gret building skills and shredding skills - people dont realise how good these old school bikes are - thank you for the video
Im currently goint to restore my grandfather's bike, for the porpuse of making it a travel bike for the rest of summer, this vedio is such a motivation
So artfully executed-- Plus an equal is that run, the soundtrack, the tiniest crushes of dirt & stone..the various camera positions-- my god,what a labor of pure luv ! Christ All Mighty- this deserves an Emmy🎈
Just got a 1999 Rockhopper RS which is why I am here. I stayed for the excellent video production. No doubt our host has a lot to say but this video is even MORE effective without narrative. Really appreciate the multiple cam angles including drone footage. Editing is superb. Natural sounds with no silly music is the gold standard.
My 1st MTB was a 1992 Rockhopper absolutely loved that bike watching this makes me want to rebuild my old Ti frame to use again....... great video thank you
This is a great video that showcases the potential of a great bike. My first 'real' mtb was a 2001 Rockhopper A1(disc). I still have that bike and it's done just about everything.
Im rocking a mid 80’s all original Bridgestone MB2. Just started MTB’ing after simply loving bikes as transportation and bike camping over nights. Its really fun! Love old steel frame steeds.
Thorough. Great close ups with high res and stop frame photography is excellent with shock decals coming off, etc. Solid mech work & riding to boot!! 😎👍💯
The sticker timelapse dude. Nobody is doing that in restoro vids. Very cool like stop animation 80s childrens TV programmes. I watch all the restoration YTers and this pisses over most of them. Cinematography at the end too. Outstanding.
Wow brother! I enjoyed watching the restoration part! It must have taken a lot of time. Great work! I bet it felt great to ride once your work was completed! It all came together - it is a mountain bike!
Great video. Loved the restoration. 👍(you should really wear a respirator when painting to stop those nasty vow's getting in your lungs). Just goes to show how good a quality those 90's steel mtb's were. Liked the 1x update.
WOW !!! Just discovered this channel, after months of binge-watching 3 very different RUclipsrs - Sam Pilgrim, Old Shovel, and Blue Lug. Man, this is like the best bits of all those 3 combined, but on top of that, your videography is off the hook ! Full respect man. This is sick. 👍
Ahh man so happy I stumbled upon you. What an awesome video. I was transfixed all the way through. Takes me back to my early MTB days in the 90s. The care you’ve taken here is absolutely incredible. Colour scheme is so dope. Subscribed 👊🏻
This was so good! I've got an old 90's Mongoose I was going to turn into a gravel bike. I think this just changed my mind. It needs to see some jumps 😂
Dude, me too. I have a mid 90s aluminium Rockadile DX with rock shocks. I’m (trying at least) converting to all rigid and a 1 x 10. Get some riser bars on there.
So anyone seen the awesome new 28.25 cobble bikes? 28.25 wheels are the perfect size for blowing down cobble beds and the advanced new mono gear drive trains put all your power down to those perfect new wheels while simultaneously reducing weight and complexity. Awesome stuff and only 1899.99 for the casual pedestrian sidewalk towel rack version!
That was awesome . Three things are apparent here . Firstly , you have great skills in restoring and setting up a MTB Secondly , you shred And finally , so many riders are "over-biked" , which is not a sin ! just funny . You have proven that a good rider on a decent , solid foundation bike can be an awesome combination .

I've got newer more capable bikes, but I can't say I've had more fun than on my old 89 Nishiki Colorado.
great rebuild - you've got gret building skills and shredding skills - people dont realise how good these old school bikes are - thank you for the video
Some are really sick! Indeed
My 90's rigid MTB with only road tyres and a meticolous tuning, is now a fast and robust sport road bike. I love its 26' wheels.
Jesus christ, 7,800 views?! The riding at the end is the cherry on top, god damn. A++ restore video.
Nice Rebuild 🤘
A helmet is cooler than a cap on the trail 🤙
True, riders choice though 🤷♂️ thanks for watching!
Too true. I keep most of my memories in my brain. Would be shame to loose that archive.
Se nota que nunca te han dado puntos en la cabeza por no llevarlo
Im currently goint to restore my grandfather's bike, for the porpuse of making it a travel bike for the rest of summer, this vedio is such a motivation
Its not fair ,this video deserves at least 10 m view...Its like watching a movie.Great Work .
Probably one of the best if not the best incarnation of the Rockhopper.
Such a classic. I want to restore mine
So artfully executed--

I am taking on my first mountain bike rebuild. A Specialized Stumpjumper, thank you for this video mate.
Those steel framed rockhoppers were lush to ride. great rebuild!
The self-removing stickers was a brilliant touch, cheers.
My first full restomod was a 96 Rockhopper. Great climber, nimble and lots of joy. The 90s produced lots of cool mtb’s.
Very nice , gives me inspiration for older bikes !
You know that you are doing well when the youtube algorithm recommends you to other users excellent video
My 1st MTB was a 1992 Rockhopper absolutely loved that bike watching this makes me want to rebuild my old Ti frame to use again....... great video thank you
Just picked up one of these for a steal!!! 98 rockhopper in mint condition can’t wait to update and upgrade it so I can shred it! Great video!
Wow...what a rebuild.... you didn't miss anything... the detail you put into it was outstanding
Damn, not even new bikes can sound that solid. Well done.
LOVE the video style. Lots of other restorers/restomodders out there take note!
I don't know why, but this era of 26er MTB is just so fucking rad.
This is a great video that showcases the potential of a great bike. My first 'real' mtb was a 2001 Rockhopper A1(disc). I still have that bike and it's done just about everything.
Awesome!
And so refreshing to see someone put the brakes on the right way round!
Nice build!
Just got a 90 something rockhopper can't wait to bring it back to life
What a beauty!!! I would never get tired of watching this video!!! The bike and how it is recorded
Great! I'm restoring a chinese 90s "Sundown Rain Drop" in this moment, very popular in my country Brazil. Greetings!
Keep your bikes alive!!! Yeah ,dude is a really great job and awesome ride 👍👍👍 many thanks
Amazing bro! Professional building, riding, vibing and recordings. Thanks for sharing, you're awesome.
Im rocking a mid 80’s all original Bridgestone MB2. Just started MTB’ing after simply loving bikes as transportation and bike camping over nights. Its really fun! Love old steel frame steeds.

Amazing Job man!!! I really miss these old bikes! Thanks for getting them back to life! 👏👏👏👏

Soooo inspiring! And zen to watch. I got just the same Hopper... Many thanks
Thorough. Great close ups with high res and stop frame photography is excellent with shock decals coming off, etc. Solid mech work & riding to boot!! 😎👍💯

Awesome rebuild and a classy paint job. Riding is on point too 🤙
Awesome on so many levels!!!! Tremendous job both in the resto and filming!!
Very inspirational video. I am still riding my 2009 rockhopper expert and I am loving it;)
El mantenimiento de la horquilla fue excelente.muy detallado y prolijo.Felicidades 👏👌👌🚴
This video is the best.i Don,t understand where are yours followers. Congratulations

Wow brother! I enjoyed watching the restoration part! It must have taken a lot of time. Great work! I bet it felt great to ride once your work was completed! It all came together - it is a mountain bike!
Glad you enjoyed it
Watching this i feel like watching a mix of Restore it, and Soup Classic Motoring channel but with bicycle
That video was truly inspirational. Thank you.
Damn , that was the best rebuild video i've seen... great job!
This video is a gem. I just bought the same bike hense how I found this, with the same idea.
Great video. Loved the restoration. 👍(you should really wear a respirator when painting to stop those nasty vow's getting in your lungs). Just goes to show how good a quality those 90's steel mtb's were. Liked the 1x update.
More like this please!
You’re an artist, gonna have to binge watch all your vids now 🔥
What a sick video. Appreciate things like this 🙏

Look forward to more goodness.
Peace.
Very! Nice work!!!, one solid bike.
The videography in this is absolutely fantastic. This deserves more than 8k views. Great job!

pleasantly surprised you actually rode it as a mountain bike instead of just turning it into a commuter bike like 70% of restoration channels do
That was so well shot and edited. Incredible sound. Thanks for a great video!
Nice bike and good job 🤩
Very nice. My 1996 KHS still going strong but...could be a project
great video.....and very enjoyable watching the resto....
Such a riding style flowy...
Awesome Video and Super cool Footage
Awesome stuff. Well done! Thanks for sharing.
I have a 2007 Specialized Hardrock still and use it. Just fitted new Rockshox air forks.
I have the same frame but with the burnished finish. I've actually owned two 98 rockhopper Nitanium frames.
That was awesome . Three things are apparent here .
Firstly , you have great skills in restoring and setting up a MTB
Secondly , you shred
And finally , so many riders are "over-biked" , which is not a sin ! just funny .
You have proven that a good rider on a decent , solid foundation bike can be an awesome combination .
Wow! Love what you have done! Fascinating! 🙂🚲
Subscribed from Singapore! I love the detailed work!
Such a sick build, wow. And your riding skills/trails are even better haha.
Great rebuilding skills, great rider, great cinematography. Keep it up man.
great bike, great restoring, cool video, thanks.
Amazing restoration and video! Thanks!
Killer build! Great video production too.
Dude you’re an artist
Oh how I wish I kept my 1994 GT Zaskar LE anodized blue! I would have pimped it right out!!
I have a 1986 Rockhopper Comp...with Girvan flex stem.... Gathering dust Andi n need of an overhaul like this
Wow, great vid! Your cinematography is awesome and you f*in shread that trail, keep up the good work, can't wait to see your next video.
People don't know how good they have got it these days 😁 Suspension back then was terrible. Beautiful frame!
This inspires me to do bike restoration, too! Thanks for sharing and great job!
Damn nice. I love retro builds with some features from new bikes :)
Really great. But he forgot to put on a Sharkfin as a protection for the newly painted chainstay.
Excellent, top notch video.
Bad ass..I upgraded a hardrock to my main touring bike
Cool Master. Super video. Hend made.
Great rebuild. It was fun to see you shred. Must have been putting the fork to its limits.
A work of art.
Very nice color scheme
