Heres my two rockies:
1997 soul I bought new. I raced it cross country until losing my sponsorship and drifting away from the sport. Later It survived as a commuter by Vancouver somehow without getting stolen. It picked up a wierd mix of parts along the way. I use it for cruising and to haul my kids around. My wife also likes riding it.

I found this 95 fusion recently for 20$. I threw on the seat and stem. Not sure what to do with it yet, but it deserves a makeover.
Here another RM owner BUT I cannot put a photo because mine are 2006 both. Last year one of them did a second place in a race so ... faster than near any 29-27.5 bicycles
For me they are not updated, I feel quite confy riding them, better than 29" or other modern and the results speaks: they move fast.
