the BEST hardtail ever???

[suburbanreuben]

Not quite a Dekerf, IF of Klein but there are plenty out there who swear by them (and I secretly quite liked thrashing my old Explosif probably as much as my Team SST!).

I've never spent any time with a Klein, but please don't mention Windy Flab in the same breath as Dekerf. There is absolutely no comparison.

Ridden? RC200

Always wanted to try....? A Ritchey...

Really, really wanted to...

And there's one on eBay too at the mo, oh to be free of monetary conscience and constraint... :cry:

Very subjective but my Merlin is the best bike I have ridden and I have owned yeti arc and zaskar and a stumpy
Just something about the Merlin shines above the rest to me

Best frame I've ridden is 94 lavadome (steel obvs), feels better to ride (but not as quick), as cannondale caad5.

Worst frame - 98 Marin 'Monocoque' - it was like riding a gong.
