1994 Merlin Titanium

[RockiMtn]

forgot i had some more shiny bits stocked away from before.

a set of silver and pewter. think the pewter would go nicely with the build! need to find a rear mech first though. :?

 

[RockiMtn]

cool retro (RF turbines), or classy retro (XTR M900)? Which one should I pick?

the RFs are MINT btw, both rings and arms. i was pleasantly surprised when they arrived. :shock:

The XTR arms could do with a little polish, and the rings are a tad worn.

couple more pics of the build.

stealing the wheelset off another bike. Gold set of Mavic 117 on XTR M910 with XTR M900 cassette.

cat's out of the bag!

Early first "test" fit. Note the P2s are 1-1/8" and no headset installed. Just wanted a sense of what a black Syncros Powerlite would look on it.

Things are picking up

Minty, close to perfect XTR rear mech found it's way to me. Could almost pass as NOS with a bit of shop wear. Only way you'd know it's not is light signs of mud. Got it Dirt cheap too!

Oh wait, WTF??? where's the pulleys??? :evil:

 

[RockiMtn]

oh yeah, that's right! i don't NEED pulleys! :twisted:

let's do the transplant, shall we???

if i do say so myself, i must say that looks FRESH!

couldn't have imagined this working out so WELL!
