Merlin

Pace sus or curved black steel, they are the only options in my opinion, I know you could get it with a Tange Switchblade but I don't think it looks right. I have a Tange curved black fork similar looking to the Ritchey version lined up for my Merlin.
It's coming along nicely keep it up.

thank you guys for your suggestions
To be honest I have great plans for this Merlin but currently not enough time to realize that.
Eventually it will get a titanium forks (but things are extremely expensive) and also few small red parts ...I might completely change my approach
But the bike season begins at last and I want to ride it, so I will go with the manitou and use some xt parts.
...also I would like to polish the frame at some point and use new decals.

it's annoying when you wait weeks on a 1 inch steerer kona p2 and instead you get a 1 1/8 inch fork :shock: :twisted:
I think the Englishman can't do anything with inch dimension, right? :mrgreen: (but actually they have invented this size unit)
Too bad, it would have been perfect, the titanium finish of this fork fits incredibly well with Merlin.
now I'm sad and have to look any further.
