I love those Record OR cantis. But Dia Compe 986 would be nice on your ride

All the Merlins I saw in this period had black decals, and usually had black painted cromo forks.

I'm a fan of M730 cantilevers in black

Very nice parts… but not for a 89 frame

Can anyone tell me something about the rear brake? Can't find them anywhere on the Internet

It's a McMahon Racing Cycles (MRC) scissor brake.
I've got one on my RekTek. See the link in my sig.

This is a very nice Merlin and based on welds you can see that it's from the 89th. I think it go very well together with black XT 730 parts (but everything in black will also look beautiful )

O yea! I remember this brand and sertainly those ads. Make me wonder if my handle bar and stem could be from the same brand. The first owner stripped of all logos and stickers from most of the parts. The shapes looks identical.
I'm still a silver/Ti guy, hate black parts!
Thank you for the info.

I feel slightly sick with jealousy, thinking how much I'd like to be in your shoes right now.
I'd savour every minute of building this up.

Looks fantastic by the way
