I received this frame from Carsten (thanks mate!) already before Xmas but had time to open the box just today. I'm in love once again ;)

It's a 1995 Merlin Metalworks Mountain in 17.5" size. Serial # 11450.

The FSX fork is from Rumpfy but it seems I need a little bit longer steerer unless I go with Judy (which I got with the frame).

I'm torn between build options...

1) full XTR M900 including seatpost, bottom bracket, etc.; Salsa stem, Titec Ti bar, Flite Transalp

or

2) bling build with Syncros Ti bb, Nuke Proof Bombshell hubs, Ti seatpost, handlebar & stem, Flite Evo

What do you think ?
 
build #2 imho

that was my cable hanger.

bugger, i cant remember what mines serial# is off the top of my head(this is gonna bug me)

nice foundation for a killer project there!
 
Congrats it's very nice. I think I was number 4 in the queue for that ;)

I'd go sort-of option 1, but Ti the thing to the hilt... with Merlin, Moots or similar bits where possible
