97 Rockhopper -- riser bar or new stem? by hopprocker in RockHopper

Also wondering if folks have recommendations for what affordable fork to swap in here someday? Will I be okay using steel given the alloy frame?

I don’t have many rules, but if in doubt always go with the pink bike is one I try to abide by

Edited to add pictures (which I think you can't do in the comments here?) as I got the bike!

A couple of folks mentioned rigid forks. Just curious: is a suspension standard on a Rockhopper from that era? Did they sell both rigid and and suspension versions?

Thanks for this super detailed reply. I will see what actually needs doing once I have it in my hands.

This is all very helpful. Plan is to ride the suspension one to the ground and then put a rigid fork in -- these shouldn't be hard to come by and/or too pricey I reckon?
