1994 Merlin Elevator FS

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...



 
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...






Next to come...

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:
