Let's have a laugh... my Merlin: no ambitions but a lot of use....

It’s good to see a really high class of bikes this month, and some really unusual entries.

I have had a look at the build thread for the KILLI and am in love with the powder coat finish on this one. I have been trying to get my powder coater to try with some glitter lately, but he has not been able to find a really fine multi colour glitter that i want.

The Lloyd is special too. Will you just look at the colour scheme, a great representation of the Union flag on a bike of the Union. The frame design is so out there even Mulder gives it an odd look.

I just dunno...... :?

For a novice and someone who has only really been drawn to mountain bikes from this site I am still learning here. I have fell in love with the klunkers in that time and the ones here are amazing so maybe its the sign of a major shift in my shiny chrome psyche or something more substantial, but I am drawn to that luminous Klein like smeagol! What is happening to me?... :?

Will be a very hard vote again... lot of nice bikes.

But my vote will go for Trip's Merlin Elevator... I dreamed of this bike!!!

Your taste is really good mate, haha Thanks for your kind words, you allready now that if you want to ride it you just have to drive your car about 4 hours

I'll add mine in and see what happens.

For those who haven't seen it, it was pretty much a full restoration which was an enjoyable thing for me to do. I learnt a lot in the process.

I also had a theme when I built it which was to make the most of what I had. Most of the parts were knackered and required work to get them usable and looking ok.

For anyone interested, here's the thread, more pics there:
