My "Modern" Rocky Mountain Twins...

[shutter]

Yea... I know... they are ever so slightly newer than 1997... but I'm posting them here anyways just for fun

Besides, most of the parts on the Vertex t.o. are what I would put on my pre-1997 Rockies anyways

Just thought someone might enjoy these... the last time two bikes like this were together was probably at the dealer back when they were new... if even that...

Sweet! I also had that 99 Vertex TO and a Turbo Ltd from the same year. It's nice to see one again in such good condition. Sadly I only kept that Vertex only one year, but replaced it with the 00 Vertex TO which I still have.
My 00 is in pretty rough shape and has only 3 original parts on it now, but it was a great racer in those days!

Here's a pic of my old Turbo which I sold last year...sorry, probably should be in the road forum but thought it would be a nice comparison to the team model above.

Thanks! Nice turbo! Yea, I'm more into the oldies but these are still retro enough in my books =)

Nice pair. I have an Element from the same year. Its a bit more tattered then yours though.

 

[shutter]

thanks! Yea, an element would seal the deal =)

Mine is not the same color though, it's a limited edition, so grey/red candy. I have only ever seen 1 other in the same color.
