Rocky Mountain Vertex 990 RSL w/Roval Carbon Wheels

$1100 USD
Selling my 2017 Rocky Mountain Vertex 990 RSL "Size XL" cross country mountain bike. I bought this bike new from Trailhead Bicycle Company in Cleveland, TN and it has been used as my primary trail bike since. This bike along with the carbon wheels puts it on the extreme side of XC with cross country race geometry and a twitchy, light, agile feel. Things I have loved about this bike are the ultra light explosive handing, race like geometry and mountain goat climbing abilities. The bike has some nicks and scratches that I will post in the pictures. It also has two different style SLX hand brakes (from different years) that are aesthetically different, but functionally the same. The paint scheme was also only offered in limited batches (usually these frames are Red without the maple leaves) but I got lucky and got this white and black Maple leaf paint scheme. --- Specs on the bike: Roval Control Carbon Wheelset with straight pull DT Swiss hubs, rear is upgraded to the 54t tooth ratchet system which makes it nice and loud. 100mm Rockshox Recon with lockout lever 11 Speed XT Shifter with 11-42 Cassette 32T Race Face Aeffect cranks 680mm straight bars KS Lev Dropper post with a Specialized Phenom saddle SLX Brakes Tubeless Maxxis Ikons 29x2.2 The bike comes in at 22.4lbs without pedals. Video link of rear wheel Engaged: https://youtube.com/shorts/58bQsM1mPVs?feature=share --- I am asking $1,100 OBO, I cannot include the pedals but do have pedals I will sell if interested. I expect shipping to be between $100-$150 for the bike that the buyer must agree to and pay. I will only work with Paypal Goods and Services and adhere to Pinkbike's "rules to follow" when conducting an online transaction, lets make sure the transaction is safe and secure! Thanks for looking, please message me with any questions!

Rocky Mountain's Parent Company Changes Name To... Rocky Mountain?
I agree with Chilli. I had an awesome experience with RM dealing with a cracked 2017 Vertex Frame. They replaced the frame in about 2 weeks and gave me the option to paint it any color I wanted. But I was also working through my local bike shop where I purchased it, who I have had nothing but good honest experience with and they handled everything.

Rocky Mountain Introduces New Vertex Hardtail
I have had the 2017 Vertex 990 RSL frame for almost a year. I decided to go from a full sus Epic to this HT. It has taken some adjusting, definitely a lot more twitchy than I expect, but have really liked the weight savings and stiffness for climbs. Feels like I'm getting more per pedal.

East Bound and Down: Knoxville, Tennessee
I neutrally can say after living in the Pacific Northwest for a time, Chattanooga and Knoxville both have more variety of trails to offer within a 15 minute radius of their metropolitan area than any other city I have lived in! The Appalachians hold some of the best mountain biking areas in the world. Ijams was my spot every day after work until I moved to Charlotte, truly grateful to the people that make those trails happen. Great article!
