If I'd not sourced this one I'd have bought yours... yes, plain jane M900 methinks, with a rigid front end and some fat Smokes. Pondering the 'right' stem and post...

I didn't know that Merlin built so big sized frames :lol:
Lot of interest for following the building…

Sounds good to me.

I opted for the Ritchey quill stem, and never even got as far as the post... :oops: :oops:

I have a full m900 kit (apart from cassette and 1" headset) if you're struggling.

I agree, but my bikes are lighter, and I need a smaller house for stocking all my bikes :lol: :lol:
