MERLIN Extralight TRACK

[Yidaki]

Dear all,

"today is a good day" - that's what was going on in my mind the whole
day since noon. That was the time when I picked up my two parcels from
the post office.

A MERLIN Extralight bike arrived. I have been waiting quite a while now,
but it was worth every day. All components are like new, mint, very little
use. The frame - see for yourself - is just beauty!

I came home late tonight, ate something and started disassembling all the
parts. The frame is naked already, cleaned it a bit with WD-40. The results
are awesome! Maybe I don't even need to polish this one up .. Weight is 1.375g
approx.

Cheers,
Peter

That b/b is :shock:

I can't see it but are there cable guides for the rear brake?

 

[Yidaki]

That is a Boone Helix titanium bb

Yes, there are cable guides for the rear brake!
See first picture

Re:

super frame but do you believe Morati cranks are the "reasonnable" choice for a track or fixed bike :idea: :?

Some were prone to cracks eventually :?

Wowser!

I know that these MORATI have been broken some times, but so were the
Syncros Revolution This bike won't see drops or races, so I guess they
should be fine!
