Lovely, clearly a real labour of love now remeber it's to be ridden not looked at.

definitely will ride this - no question - but she will get preferential treatment over the mondaine suspended glue and fiber rig -

The destiny of all Vintage Merlins... shold be kept like jewels, but they end up making the other bikes in the garage get covered in dust!

Really nice, my kind of build. Any more pics?

pluzall · Feb 4, 2011

will post more w a proper cam - this was just an overly excited iphone snap -
as far as stickers i couldnt find the exact right one from that era - the one w the bird in the name - and now that it is all together - i dont mind the patina , not a huge fan of the overly syrupy restored bikes - there are several ritcheys in the bay area - repainted w remade stickers - they look strange...
