The latest update here my guys! Last week was crank and pedal week. I took my SYNCROS Revolution set and gave it some new color by re-spraying it matte black and applied a 2k semi gloss clear coating. Only matte was too matte and semi gloss was a little too shiny So I took some very super fine steel wool to dull it up a little again. Looks great now! Some New Decals and theyre good to go again!

Very last thing to do on this MERLIN will be fitting in the SYNCROS Powerlite Fork wit the new longer steerer tube. Coming up soon ...

Haven't seen that bottle since I had some BITD. Still have the matching Uncle Bob badges kicking around though.

I love it with the Manitou fork and purple cage to match. Just the right amount of color to not appear like a black and white photo. Arguably one of the finest Merlins I’ve seen.
