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."

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.

..and the Stumpjumper was the first production mountain bike, although we would hardly even call
that thing a hybrid these days.
