With apologies to Pink Floyd, I've got a bike.... actually I've had it quite a while, it's a '91 Specialized Rockhopper. For sentimental reasons (see below) I'll never get rid of this bike but to be hones it's hardly been used, every few years or so I get enthusiastic and drag it out promising to do more cycling and get fitter, this is another of those times.
With the possible exception of the inner tubes everything is as per '91! Currently I need to sort out the gear shift as I can't get the highest rear gear. I probably should change the tyres for some newer ones and more 'slick' as I'll mainly be doing road not off-road and it could do with a 50 tooth front ring. (I have mended the puncture...)
Some more pictures...

p.s. How do you embed images from Flickr using the Flickr BBcode, so you get click-able images and titles etc?
The back story, I bought the bike in California (Pacific Bicycle, Palo Alto) on a business trip. While I was away my daughter was born 8 weeks premature in Reading. As you can imagine there is a lot of emotional attachment to the bike, even if I don't actually ride it much!
