Haven't checked the serial number yet so don't know what year it is.
Picked this one up yesterday.
Sort of bought by mistake

Will give it a good polish tomorrow

Looks a nice bike but can I ask, a mistake would be putting two different socks on, how did getting a merlin happen by mistake

I was not going to buy any bikes this summer but saw this one for sale and without really giving a good thought bought it,.. not a good idea,.. or maybe it was

I wasn't going to,... but one day later i would like to give it
- A rigid (P2 like) fork
- Already replaced the seat post into a Syncros Ti
- Stem is to short so will be on the lookout for something Ti
- Bar i would like to change into Groovy Luv Handles
- Cranks replace by NOS Syncros Revolutions
- And maybe some other wheel....

so only a few small things

love the changes. Except the bar.

not sure about the bar myself,.. might be installing a normal Ti Bar

just ordered an original Decal set, so looks like I am going all-in with this one.
