This is a rarely seen Merlin Cyclocross frame from the early 2000s. These were made in small quantities and only as custom orders.

I think it may have been an ex team bike .. Which might be why it has Litespeed decals as both companies had the same owner BITD.

53cm toptube .. 52cm centre to top st. 13cm headtube

Very light, very sexy…. Excellent low-use condition, only very little scuffs. But the lower part of the down tube has a shallow dent.. perhaps from a badly fitting car roof carrier? It isn’t easy to spot, but it’s there. I have tried to make it look as obvious as possible on the images. It doesn’t look to bad, but if it bothers you, you might be able to pop it out with dry-ice or just fill and paint?

price - £290
