Merlin Mountain 1992

[Rog]

Thought I’d start a build thread on my Merlin mountain titanium 1992 as I managed to finally fit the bars in thanks to @raidan73 5p trick. Thanks mate!

Managed to find some early Syncros shotgun bars & Syncros titanium seat post.

Chris king Ti headset.

At the moment I have Pace 31? forks but I’m looking for some ritchey logic forks if anyone has any for sale.

Going to go full XTR m900.

Hopefully have it done in the next few months!

What size is it? Been thinking about Merlins. And 92 is a good year.

Thank you... but can´t read the numbers on that geometry table. It´s too small and when magnified, blurs. Yours should be a 17.5 if i could read anything.
