Looking good.. With those red turbine LPs, Judy SL and M950 it is so very similar to mine, fun to see!

Looks very nice! There's been a good influx of Altitudes lately! But it's been a long time since I've seen an 18.5" up for sale.

I'm surprised that there's no Vertex or Vertex T.O.'s on the forum from 93-97. Back then, between my friends and I, I think we had about 10 of them that we raced during that time period.
Was there more long-term failure on those frames compared to the Altitude, or are the steel frames just more desirable now? :?

Thanks! I think the steel vertex is the best =)

The aluminum ones were prob race bikes and eventually cracked from use

*ahem* i think the Easton HBO tubing was very prone to failure, here's a dead 95 i picked up:

similarily a 95 Edge:

also have a 96 Vertex T.O., no cracked headtube, but not in the greatest of shape either with a bodged rear derailleur hanger. :roll:

thanks for the reminder. :roll: btw, the bodged rear hanger is so bad, i think i have to scrap the frame altogether. :facepalm:

Dang... I think I have you a good deal on that titanium race face stem and Judy SL along with it so that should account for it =). I'll give you your moola back on the full package if you want including them stem too =)

the frame was independent of the stem and fork, got that after the fact. remember? and the ti RF stem had a broken collar, which made it useless until i resourcefully sourced a replacement.
