Specialized Hardrock Drop Bar Conversion - Part.1

Today we’re digging deep into the parts bin to work on a vintage Specialized Hardrock conversion project. Sounds simple enough, but we do run into some snags along the way. This thing became a gravel freight train - it’s big, it's burly, but so much fun. It may be my new favorite bike.
