I recently got this bike and need a new seat post as im to big for the frame.
Im not quite sure what size i need. Bikepedia say its a 30.4mm seat post depending if its a 1997 model.
I kind find much decent evidence online so was wondering if anyone new the year of this bike or even better the seat post size.
I look forward to your input.
Cheers
It's a fairly old one....
Best thing is to firstly see if the one you have has a size marked on it, then failing that measure it with digital calipers! 🙂
I'd say 1995/6 - I have the Comp A1 FS which I got in 1996? Same Manitou Spyder R's on it so it much be close and its steel - went over to Alu from the A1 model but I think they still made a steel version.
its a 1998 rockhopper comp...
ive got a a singlespeeded one.. my favourite bike.. ever!
and the post is a 30.4
i run mine with a shim and a 27.2 post... much comfier i find 🙂

Is that the 'Nitanium' one? I used to have the 97 steel one, in red. It was ace.
they are the nitanium frames yeah.. 😀
i had the 97 red one too... until it snapped on a drop just next to the drive side dropout..
got the above as a warranty replacement and its still going strong.. 😀
awesome frames!
Ahh old forks new frame 🙂 Silly me it is Alu 🙂

Shame, this is the only pic of mine. It's a 1997 A1 Comp FS and yes it has a 30.4mm seatpost (I still have it!) I bought it new and sold it in 2008, ahh those happy days.

Didn't Specialized have the year model next to serial number on the bottom of the BB shell?
