Merlin Mountain #11450 - BUILD COMPLETED

[BoyBurning]

Only vintage Spesh I have is the BOTM winner Ultimate which uses the DirectDrive fork so I had no need for the FSXs anymore.
Maybe I should have kept one Carbon/Ti as well, since they're great looking forks.

I thought you had more than that.

My mistake. I seem to remember you having an Epic Ultimate, as well as a carbon S-Works?

Agree with you on the FSX front. They are beautiful looking. Will be high on the shopping list once the bank balance has improved.

You remember correctly. I had one that had the FSX Carbon/Ti but I sold the frame to Retrobike forum member...

Awesome... :shock:

In my dreams I see that bike with green Wildgrippers (though they aren´t from the same years)

aside from the umma gummas and the ibis stem, the bike is perfect. Something about the grey of the ummas and the ibis seem off with this beautiful merlin finish. The previous stem looked better though it's not as nice as the ibis.

that's just being stupid picky though, great build.

God that's a nice build, IMO how a TI bike should look (no lairy anodizing/colours)
