Origins of Specialized: Rock Hopper/Stumper

Somebody wants to know what years this model existed. Of course, he's not
sure of the exact name, but if someone can point me in the right direction,
it would be appreciated.

It looks like Specialized is still making models called "Rockhopper"
and "Stumpjumper."

Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Paul O'Neill - people I know very
well - our president George W. Bush. We need them there."

The Stumpjumper was the first and came out in 1980 (give or take a
year). I remember it well. I was living in Alaska, and my
over-the-top extreme athlete landlord got one by mail, and spent a
week popping wheelies and making gravel fly in front of our house.
Just a big kid...

The Rockhopper came out a couple of years later (less sure of the date
on this one) as a lower-cost alternative.
