so yesterday drove out after work and picked up a new mountain bike. definitely on the lower end of the scale, but in the condition for price i can't complain.
2014 Specialized Hardrock 26er. the best way to think about the bike is "my first specialized" lol. in the last two years it was wridden twice, dropped, and then put into the closet. so i guess the person gave up on learning to ride a bike.
this is how little its been ridden. the rear cassette still looks factory fresh, could even eat off it. and of course the only battle damage to someone learning to ride. i can deal with that as bike racks would scuff that up anyways.

no pictures, but i spent today doing a little maintenance. took off those shit plastic pedals and installed some crank bros candy II's i had, and upgraded the brakes from 6" to some 8" hydraulics that i had sitting around. by far the worst part of the bike though is the front fork. SR Suntour air shock. im used to really plush oil dampened DH style front forks with 7-8" travel. so this feels like a POS. maybe one day will have to look into upgrading.
aaaaanyways. not sure if i'll keep for myself or give to my girlfriend. will fit in well with the rest of the stable.
