I remember that my Elevator is 003. I seem to recall they used 001 & 002 as marketing mules for Europe and the States.

Hi, it's the one written about in this link on the board:

viewtopic.php?t=12711

The elevated chain-stay suspension version. I've always thought of it as the Merlin Elevator or E-stay.

so i picked up a more modern merlin, from around 2003. I can't seem to find a serial number on it. Non on the bottom bracket, and none on the drop-outs.

Its supposed to have been employee owned, so I suppose its possible that there is no serial.

Late '92 (?) Mountain, 7841. 1" headset, S-stays, not double-butted, no-thread BB (circlips). Currently has post-'02 (?) decals (where the M and E are separate) and head badge and declares itself an "xlm" (in italics).

i also have 7817, which was purchased in mid 93

Hmm. Can we pin the build date down?
