I purchased this mountain bike new in 2007 and at the time of this review (September 11, 2019), this 2007 Specialized Rockhopper is still as solid as the day I purchased it. The frame is extremely solid and this bicycle is a pleasure to ride. I've replaced just about all the parts on the bicycle which wear out over time (derailers, cables, cassette, chain and etcetera) and the bicycle works as well as I did when I first purchased it. I've also had several minor crashes with this bicycle and had a bicycle mechanics check the frame each time and the bicycle frame is still as solid as when I purchased it. This bicycle did not come with disc brakes; however, there are points in the front and rear to add them. I never upgraded to disc brakes because they aren't that important for me. If you do enough research online, you'll see at least one blog or web page, where the case is made that disc brakes are not necessary on any bicycle. The only draw back of this bicycle is there is no shock built into the frame. However, there are very well-made seat shocks (mine cost just under $200.00 USD) which solves this problem. I would recommend a very well-made high-tech seat shock for this or any other bicycle without a shock built into the frame.
