Hey this is my first frame build and am very confused about which front mech I need.

I bought a 2008 rocky mountain vertex HT and it says on the ebay sale site the seller put, designed for top pull front mechs.

Well my current top swing wont fit, I dont think.

Can someone send me a link of what mech I need for these frames, as its the last bit I need.

Thanks so much.

Wrong forum.

Wait until you get the bike, and figure out what your mounting options are - high clamp, low clamp, where the braze-ons for cable routing are. Then either ask again or just buy the right thing, because you'll have all the information you need.

I guess you might also try the Rocky Mountain owners' forum.

Top swing (low clamp) and top pull (or dual pull)
