There's just something about a classic steel hardtail, isn't there?

Take a look at this. It's my "trunk" bike! I call it that because it fits perfectly in the trunk of my '96 Camry. (Well, I do have to remove both wheels, and the seatpost/saddle to get it in there!) I do not have a rack, or any other good means to transport a bike at this time, so if I want to take along a bike, this is the one that goes.
I believe it's a '99 Rockhopper. I helped a former co-worker pick it out, and then a few years later, he sold it to me. Original equipment except the fork, courtesy of Carlos the Jackal. (I may be going back to rigid, I hate having to futz with air pressure before every ride!) Oh yeah! The wheels are different too! I almost forgot! They are off a C'dale mountain bike, and were lighter than the stock wheels. I have got some Bontrager something or other tires on it. It rides pretty well........for a 26 inch wheeled bike! Ritchey Ni-Ti steel tubing helps with that.
Bonus points for any localis that can identify the setting for this picture of my bike!
GT, It looks like the 'landing' at the bottom of the stairs at Martyr's River Trail. I am sure that it it somewhere else, but that's what it looks like to me. I too love the ride a steel framed bike provides. But, then again, you prolly guessed that two year ago. hehehe
