Merlin Mountain #11450 - BUILD COMPLETED

[Merlin Boy]

:shock: Great bike, great components, so i like it a lot!

Super nice - I should really replace the M950 V's I have on my Merlin with M900 canti's, look supurb. Merlin's are so understated and uber-cool.

But aren't the brake blocks on the front the wrong way round?

real pain to get the tyre out when the pads contact the styfe brake arch, easier this way. IMHO

Now I would definietely like to own that. Lovely frame and build.

Never owned a Merlin myself.

Looks stunning!!!

I'd have been tempted with the Salsa stem and black seatpost for contrast, but you have a super build there, nice work!!!

It's true that the black parts would have done some contrast on the grey frame but I opted for the full titanium setup instead. The mostly grey setup makes the bike very understated / plain unless the beholder knows what the material & parts are. I even might change the FSX to a rigid titanium fork...
