so i picked this up over the w/e. thought it was a decent score and was quite pleased with bringing it home. a 1995 Rocky Mountain Vertex in Ultra Green. included was a matching though faded mango Race Face RealSeal headset, a Ti Race Face stem , and XTR M900 front mech and BB. All in excellent condition!
Haven't seen many RM Vertex from the era, and doing a search here on RB shows it's quite scarce, and i may know the reason why… stripping the parts off to do a clean and inspect, to my sad disappointment i found a crack in the headtube. frame was in quite good condition, including paint and decals.
this is a tribute to it's existence… and it will live on through the parts coming off it on my other RM builds. :cry:
