[Closed] Found in skip; Rockhopper Comp. what year and what size seatpost?

Nice find! Can't help with size, sorry.

2000 and 30.9 🙂

I wondered where my bike disappeared too!

I never find bikes like that in skips....good find and good save.

I had one about that time with magura julies, there ace until you cartwheel them down a rubble track at 27mph, then they tend to bend a bit......cheapo manipoo forks 🙂

Now THAT is what i call a PROPER stem length!! 😉

(and extra points for the barends too.....)

+1 for 2000, and 30.9. Definitely.

Great find & what a colour! The elastomers in the forks'll be like wine gums by now.

I bought some springs to replace the elastomers in some old quadras a while ago. Had to buy from usa but were quite cheap.

wow -- good find, well worth the effort to restore, even if you go rigid..

My M2s from about 1998 had Judy T2s IIRC, with whopping 63mm of rubbish travel.

Nice find!

I recently found this 2000 Marin Bear Valley at a scrapyard with miraculously no dents or damage.

Person who I restored it for says it rides really nicely.

Done a few skip progects over the years. Most recent this 1974 Dawes, not a Galaxy as first thought but a Shadow, still rides well with panniers loaded with shopping!,
My Daily commuter and a keeper. Needed new wheels/tyres, BB, bar tape and cables, Plasticoat paint job and £5 stickers off ebay but still built for £100 using up stuff lying around in the man cave 🙂

I rescued this from the scrapman last week

Looks to have been really well looked after, a quick clean. Some cheap north road bars fitted upside down and a new front inner tube and it now looks like this

Bars need tweaking and trimming and some proper brake levers.

Edit: can't get the pics to work from my phone, will update when I'm near a pc

As others have said it's a MY 2000, same as mine:

My singlespeed came out of a skip.
It quite possibly looks like it still belongs in one but rides great and I loves it.. 8)

Incidentally, the above photo is of a bike locking fail....
Clearly I was thinking of something else when I put the lock on, but hey... it was still there!
😳

🙂 wtf?

That probably imagined you as a crazy futhermucker and thought better of it, what with the bike's colours 'n all...

I'll try again!

re the rockhopper - I've got one of those from 2000 and it's still my most used bike. All it's needed in nearly 15 years is a new middle chain ring, chain and cassette, and some decent gear cables. With some Schwalbe Marathon Cross tyres I've not had a puncture for 6 years!! Mine's the same blue/silver colour as Marks above.
