Kids Upgraded 24" Hardtail (Specialized Hotrock)

My son has outgrown the bike.  We made some significant improvements to it as follows.

Upgrades:

- RockShox Mag 21 Air Fork
- Real mountain bike tires (Goodyear) versus the stock ones
- FSA Headset
- Aluminum pedals

The original fork will come with the bike but it's really heavy and vastly over sprung.  I think I have a modified spring in it along with the original. 
It's still not worth using in my opinion but you can have both.  The Mag21 made a world of difference and really built his confidence.  And, you can tune it to your child's weight.  I fabricated some brackets that relocate the V-brake in order to make it work.

With the tire and fork upgrades, his riding improved immediately.

I live in Mooresville.  980.two one five.983 seven.

$260


NOTE : I cannot upload pics.  Despite the file size being smaller than 5000kb, it says it's too large.  If you're interested, give me a call.  I'll send them via text.  My apologies in advance.

I still can't upload pics so if you send me a PM, I can text them to you.  I'm within the file size limit so I'm open to suggestions on how to fix it.  I'm happy to answer any questions as well.


I may have his small Fisher Sugar for sale shortly as well.  The boy is growing like a weed.
