Perhaps you should post in the "How much is my xyz worth thread" under Retro Mtb chat. Hard to tell anything from that pic, but they definitely look like pace forks (possibly rc35 or rc36). As for the frame...gawd knows....but if its a '97 then its either been repainted or is a custom colour (in my view). Serial number under the bottom bracket would give the date. First three digits normally denote year and month.
