Whats the rarest mountain bike in the world?

Maybe this, Ridgeback Merlin Titanium? Quite easy to copy though if you can find the Madison carbon bars and forks. I did have the original I ripped gel saddle as well.

I have a pair of those bars. Came on a recent Ridgeback purchase. Time has not been kind to the carbon :shock:

Luckily this bike had hardly been ridden so the bars were in amazing condition. the original tyres and grips had perished but the rest was like new. Sold it on here as I just couldn't bring myself to ride it either

Re:

I'm hoping to do a 3D CT scan on the bars next week. I'm intrigued to find out how bad they are.
The bike they came off of had hardly been used, which is why I bought it. Rims not even through the anodising. I was shocked when I pulled the grips off and tiny pieces of carbon cam fluttering out of the ends

Re:

Those madison carbon bars used to de-laminate after only a few months so I dread to think what they're like now

What's the all black e-stay being piloted uphill in the 3rd pic? I like that!

That's a Sonic, by Helmut Burns of London....I have the article stashed away somewhere.
