I wasn’t in the market for another hardrock but this 19” found its way into my life today. Any idea on year based on the colorway? Mid 90’s? I replaced the saddle and post with one in the parts bin to test ride it as it came with a comfort saddle which i cannot bear so ignore that if using components to date it.
I was pleasantly surprised to see its got double butted tubing. My other hardrock was straight gauge so i’m assuming the “sport” designation has something to do with that.

I think it’s a ’96: https://bikerebuilds.com/blog/90s-steel-specialized-mtb-reference-rigid-forks-26-wheels
Paint looks pretty mint
The top tube & downtube graphics are transposed from my ’97 Hardrock, so it’s likely not that year.
I was contemplating on buying this one I saw it on offer up but then I seen rock hoppers are better built ? Idk much about them I ended up getting a diamond back the geometry was just right for me😎
