Re: MERLIN XLM

Is this bigger than the Solitaire or smaller, Russell?

Re: MERLIN XLM

pretty much about the same or slightly bigger, about 1/2 inch too big for me. I'll measure the Soli tonight to compare. this has a 1 inch longer/higher head tube and possibly a slightly longer ETT.

Re: MERLIN XLM

So about my size then....

Re: MERLIN XLM

Basically ....

Re: MERLIN XLM

Nick, approx measurements for comparison purposes between the xlm and the solitaire are as follows.
Solitaire XLM
Top tube 23 24
C to c 17.5 18
C to t 19 19.5
Head tube 5.5 6.5
Stand over at seat 29 30
Stand over at bar 34 36

Re: MERLIN XLM

My size then!
But sadly beyond my means at the moment. :cry:
But, you never know what I might find down the back of the sofa...
