finally a picture of my Merlin. It's not finished yet, saddle will be changed for a normal flite and I need to tidy up the cables.
and after that...... TEST RIDE, YEAH!!! :LOL:

I'll post more and better pictures soon....
 
Nice frame....I suggest you to change:
- chainset (because I do not like)
- seatpost with a black syncros
- tires with older tires like ritchey wcs
- saddle with a flite
- grips with black one
then ride!
 
if you ask me I think you can strip the bike... and sell me the frame :cool:

BTW... is that a dent I see in the toptube?
 
nice bike

but i'd get a more functional fork like a pace RC36 on if it's a rider.
 
Nice, I bet that will ride great!.....a first shakedown test ride is a special moment for everyone who has spent time building a nice bike...... :D
 
thanks for all the comments guys! Really looking forward to get it on the trail :D

will make some changes in the future too, but for now it will be just the flite. Would love a titan syncros post, and some new ground control tires, and would like to try some hyperends (cause I like riding with barends again) and, and, and....

the fork will stay even though it's a rider. I like just a tiny bit of 'bump relief' for that true retro feel ;)
and longer suspension forks mess up the geometry to much I think.
 
oh, and yeti-man, fortunately no dent!!
no plans on selling this frame, ever.
till death do us part, and I hope I'll go first! (in like 70 years or so)
