Trek_y has got a Zelos but I think they were the same frame, I also think they were from a time when Merida was supposed to be making Carrera frames

Had a look at the green zelos and compared it with mine,very similar my rear caliper braket is different and the dropouts not sure about the top tube mines flat on the top the welds on the marida are different only thing that seems similar on all 3 is the main down tube,nice to ride so far need some wider bars and a nice saddle also narrowrr tyres maybe 2.0 the gravities are 2.3 :?

Carrera = Merida
they were indeed made by merida, the zelos and virago were both gold with a green tinted lacquer and top end models. the zelos is now a ladies full sus and the virago is a tt bike. have a look at the carrera LRS if you can find a pic (interesting rear sus waaaay ahead of its time) also the 2009 hardtails (fury, kraken etc) were merida matts frames.

this was my pride and joy,prob best hardtail i had,except stinky,make sure u dont put the seatpost too high or put too much pressure on it as it will snap the frame.i took mine to my mate to weld and he used the wrong sticks and put a huge hole in it.very light frame tho

Your right about the merida connection they made the carrera magnesium frames. I once worked for them (Halfords) and we sold a few Zelos bikes, they were a decent bike and well specced. Ive still got one of the magnesium road frames and they ride really nice.
