nice, very nice and the drop bars will make this quirky which i like. old ti frames are always worth saving imho.

Re: 1989 Merlin Titanium

i found an original set on ebay, but missing the decal Vandermark rob. I am now working on reproducing the decals as original.
decals are called oil, but no longer in production, now called transporter or something.
are like the original, it seems painting once put even if you take a hit, jump as the original.
as I say, I'm working on it and to do tests.

Re: 1989 Merlin Titanium

These are reprints from the original screens made by the same guys that made them BlTD. Sadly they don't sell to the public. I got a set from a paintshop that refinished another merlin.
