Retro Newbie
Very early Merida. Possibly the first year they put their name on a bike. Looks very much like Merida have rebadged a Univega Alpina Uno - same base colour, frame and fork that year for both models and Univega was manufactured by Merida.

Complete with original Shimano XT 730 series components.

Tange triple butted chromoly frame with original fork, stem & seatpost
Tange headset
Araya RM-20 26” rims both running true
Shimano XT FH-M730 & RH-M730 hubs
Original Shimano XT quick release skewers
Shimano XT FC-M730 biopace chainset
Shimano XT BR-M730 cantilever brakes
Shimano XT BR-M731 ubrake
Shimano XT FD-M730 front mech
Shimano XT RD-M730 rear mech
Shimano XT Uniglide 6 speed cassette
Shimano XT SL-M730 front & rear shift levers
Shimano XT BL-M730 4 finger brake levers
Shimano XT PD-M730 pedals
New Selle Italia saddle, BX bars and Funn grips

New chain, brake pads, cables and housing. New tubes & panaracer pasela 26x1.95 folding tyres. New bottom bracket, 14t cog, rear derailleur fixing bolt spring+washer. Hubs, pedals & headset serviced with new bearings. Rear derailleur, brakes & shifters refurbished. No play in brake levers. Shifters index properly and can be switched to friction. No problems with any of the above - bike is silent and smooth running.

Extras:
Additional NOS biopace 26t and 36t chainrings included as well as NOS Shimano straddle cable for ubrake. I also have the original handlebars - yours if you want ‘em. Original bottle cages in decent shape. Wald 137 basket, rack, bell and mudguards included.

Looking for e450
Pickup or can arrange to meet you somewhere north(ish) of Dublin, Ireland.

Hey all. Gonna shave some dough off this in the interest of expedience and moving it on to a good home - need the space for a new project. Thinking 400. Will deliver within reason.
