1994 Merlin Elevator FS

[Brad]

Few years ago, I found here Mr Toad's bike...

First I planed to buy Trip's bike, but too expensive at that time as a complete bike... But then, Mr Toad had to sell his beauty as a frameset. I couldn't let it go. I will later tell you what I could get from Trip


I dreamed on the catalog page...





The frame was shipped to a friend in the US, and back to me few weeks after...





Time to build it... Of course with a Pace fork and I kept the CK WTB headset sold with it :roll:
I had the fork, close to NOS condition, was just necessary to change de steerer for a longer one...

 

[Brad]

New elastomer, changed by Mr Toad before selling it





Serial number...

My plans were:

- remove the ugly decals and replace them
- full M900 groupset
- Syncros stem and post + Flite saddle
- wheels laced on M900 hubs + Panaracer tires

Here are the first pics, done on a french event 2 years ago...

Awesome! So glad it arrived safely and you are doing it justice.

So, how does she ride?

Of course the frame arrived safe here in Europe... I still need to finish 2-3 things on it...

If not, it's a perfect frame... I need to get the rigid one now... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
