Only the frame … :roll:

Sorry for the delay with photos chaps, but here they are.

seems a shame to build a Merlin with such an ecclectic mix; those 5" Pace forks can't do much for the famed handling.

Ho hum, check out some of the others on here for real pedigree: Carsten & Archangel know the score.

Single speed, nice...my weapon of choice. Using a tensioner or magic ratio?

So now I have to figure out the magic ratio ....

36 x 17T if your chains got a bit of wear works fine.

Took the Extra Fat out this afternoon to taste some typical British weather including lots of mud.
I have taken the Rc 41 fighters off this bike and replaced them with some Rc 40s set at 100mm travel.
The Rc41s have gone on the RC 303 which I got from Clunker.

Some members did not like the fact that I had put some 6" travel forks onto this Merlin frame so hopefully now the current forks will be in line with the frames geometry.

Looks lush with the RC40's on mate, glad to see you sorted the 303 out too
