Sarah’s Specialized RockHopper

Build Notes

What better day to post a Basket Bike than a Wednesday?? Especially since a bunch of you won't stop asking when Wednesday Night Basket Bike Ride is back! Don't worry, the time change and warmer weather is right around the corner after we get through these gloomy rainy weeks. ☔️ In the meantime, here's Sarah's Rockhopper done up in a Sunset 🌅 theme as a little preview of those beautiful LA sunsets we catch on the basket bike ride. This is Sarah's first non-track bike as an adult, and she says having gears and the ability to coast got her feeling like a kid again! 💜🧡💛 Some cool bits here: purple @stridsland self-extracting crank bolts, Nitto FW stem and Dia Compe anodized brake levers courtesy of @bluelug, @simworksusa cable housing, @velo_orange klunker bars, and a big ol' 11 speed 11-51t Deore cassette and derailleur. Sarah topped it off with a wald basket and a @brooksengland saddle for our chill rides down the arroyo. Look for this thing locked up outside the next @grudgepackerhc show where you can catch Sarah smacking the hell outta some drums!!! 🥁 #itsnotabikeshop
