Very enjoyable, nice one!

No pics of the fork crowns, but a link to the bike he has recently built - which is indeed very nice:

RB: Ever fancy making a Ti A La Carte? If you say “I did” and I have made a retro blunder in asking I shall perhaps delete the question…making it 19 q’s ;-)

RS: Nope!

According to mombat they were built by merlin. Guess it's down to semantics, shafer and salsa never actually built them in ti. Maybe take it up with rs himself ;-)

just looking at the picture of BPs you can tell its a merlin. I'm surprised RS didnt mention it in the interview. the past is the past I guess. he certainly doesnt seem to be living in it, good for him

rs may not have build the frame, but he sure designed it and he personally built the stem and fork for it.
