Wooow Thanks for sharing…… do you ride her much??

some great inspiration there, the logic forks were certain made for the Merlin Mountain

I don’t ride it at all - it just hangs in the house looking pretty

PS. @newsboy I sent you a PM a while back... still looking for some dating help, if you could provide? I know you're the expert around these parts and my serial, 709, is in the gap missing from the Mombat list.

@newsboy Cheers. Have already trawled through your amazing site plenty! I guess what this confirms is that there’s no way to know when you’re frame was built if it falls between #140 and #3517!

I’ve seen a few other 700 number bikes online, and the original owner of mine believes he bought it in 1989 or 1990. So I guess there’s no reason to doubt that’s the case?

Just a shame not to be able to pin it down more specifically without the receipt!
