1997 Merlin Malt mtb frame. £35 plus £10 post.

Vees or canti brakes, straight 1 1/8 headtube for 65-80mm suspension forks. Suitable for someone around 6 foot. Weighs under 2kg.

Owned by myself from new in 1998. Polished alloy finish with new custom decals by gil_m. No cracks but a fair few small marks and dinks. Also one cage bolt loose. Easily fixed but never used a bottle myself.

The bike is great fun to ride, fast acceleration, brilliant climbing and drifts in the corners.

Looks great built up (see photos for reference) and always gets lots of positive comments. It does need a bit more care with the raw finish but autosol works wonders.

Sale includes:

Tioga seatpost and USE shim
Retro uno seatclamp
UN72 bottom bracket in good condition.
FSA Orbit XL ii headset, new.
Tektro compression less brake cables with new Avid noodles.
Shimano sp41 gear cables

The headset, cables and decals cost over £80 so a bargain for someone.

Shimano m569 crankset. 42/32/22. £23 posted.
Polished and new middle ring fitted (not original). One pedal thread repaired. Lovely Retro cranks.
