Hey RockiMtn , I am a big Rocky Mountain Fan as well and
have been riding a Red '99 XT Element for the last 17 years.

It is a 18" frame but at 5'9 its just a little tight for me , I endured it and endured it.
Until
Last week when I sold a 80's Colnago Sport minus wheels on eBay for $390 and used the money to buy a MTB frame.

I spotted the 97" Race Element in your photo on eBay , made a $220 ca offer that was accepted , $30 shipping.

As a bonus the frames serial number is 003 which makes me kinda happy in a collector kind of way.

It arrived yesterday today I am prepping the upper rear arch for white paint. I will leave the lower arch yellow if the upper white matches when on the bike

I will start a thread for the build and will post the completed build back here.

My Motto is -Retro forever-
