(might be posting this in the wrong place, mods please move if necessary)

Was at a local tip in Forest Row, Sussex today and saw a early 90's Spesh R/hopper frame and fork in the bottom of the scrap metal skip. Almost a full bike minus wheels actually. White frame with fluro decals. Looked OK condition but cant be sure without fishing it out for proper inspection.

Anyone interested in this? I could try and pick it up if somebody really wants this. Otherwise pop down there and grab it.

Its similar to this from what I could see, but looked a slightly smaller frame size:

Definately interseted

Definately interested as I just retired my Stumpy and put a want ad up for another of this age. But a Rockhopper would certainly fit the bill.
