hey everyone!! a friendly stranger approached me today and told me I have a really nice bike. he told me to post it on here, and he said that you guys will really like it

Welcome brother/sister, to the strange and beautiful world of xbike misfits.


Can you please post a photo of the bike where you can actually see it? It looks like you took less than 1 second to setup the photo and said “good enough” lol. You cant even see the whole thing! Give us more!

God, love the color. Moar pics pls.

Specialized Hardrocks are popular among vintage mountain bike enthusiasts because they are quality bikes and can be found in sassy 90’s colours. But I have to agree with the others, the photo leaves a lot to be desired. If you only post one photo, make it of the drive side (the other side) and take it straight from the side, and take a few steps back, so the proportions look right. Like this:

That purple is X-biking

Well, it’s got a lot going for it: the colorway, the fact that it’s an old Specialized, the fact that it’s in active service, the fact that it’s being ridden, those fenders… It’s a thing to behold! Thanks for sharing the joy.
