1990 Merlin Titanium

[Antstark]

Something so cool about a Merlin with 73x XT. A great looking build that one.

It looks ace! Superbly well balanced from fork choice to stem, bars, bar ends and seat post. Well done.

Thank you! It’s very nice to hear that

Thank you, it’s always nice to scroll through this one again. Adrian certainly nailed that one… Utterly incredible.

The Track Two would be a tough (and costly) find, I’m afraid…

Wasn't there a trac two on the blue splatter brodie i sold you?

You are right. That one belongs to Robert K. now I think. I’d planned to keep it as a wall hanger but passed it along to help fund my Romax build that I snagged from Eric.

Couple of small (but significant) changes. A shorter stem with a bit more rise has made for a better ride. Thinking of swapping out the silver chain rings for black ones and will probably do a bit better of saddle adjustment, then it’ll be all wrapped up.

Flites look good... but are not necessarily comfortable or even healthy to everybody. They are a tad narrow for me.

It’s not as comfortable as a Turbo or Avocet but it fits the part and I do like the way it looks.

@Ryry_1985 Just curious mate, what size seatpost does your 1990 take?
