Hi Guys,
Thinking of Selling my Merlin (Frame Only) 17 Inch frame. 1996.
Not been an expert in the Market what would be a fair starting price?
Cheers

after some research and advise from people on here, boiled linseed oil coats the surface. it needs re-applying once in a while but saves the "bare" look.
so far so good
Re:
Thanks,
to remove paint i used a wire brush on a drill at low rpm, then same again on a dremmel for hard to reach places.
to finish i used sand paper - 200 grit to start then 600, 800 and lastly 1200.
Then coated in boiled linseed oil. I have coated it once more since these pictures...
