Hey guys, due to a new baby on the way and a house purchase I am considering selling a couple of my bike builds, just listed my Yeti ARC now considering whether to let this bike or my Merlin Ti go as well.

I adore this bike, the nicest steel frame and fork combo I’ve had the pleasure of owning and riding. It sounds crazy but the bike rides like it knows where to go, it is light, nimble and you don’t miss suspension, can take much wider tyres too if required. The ride position is very comfortable for a retro.

Porc tyres if you split please. As with the Yeti, stunning build btw. :shock:

Noted and thank you.
Who is Setty btw, I need a Fat fork painting in harlequin?

No idea, I bought the frame and forks as is I’m afraid.

Fat Chance still available, possible buyer in the US but rather keep her this side of the pond :LOL:
