Gone all gone... But not forgotten. If you think the Grove was hot, get a look at my Merlin FS!:shock:
I wish I had those Bontrager grips still. They were very good grips.

Very nice rides, I missed out on the FS that was for sale the other week despite my efforts and I am gutted about it, I bet you miss it big time.

If you owned that Merlin and let it go, you should have a very very very good reason to do that.

If i were the moderator, you would have been banned immediately :wink:

I am a pair of forks away from having my merlin FS build complete. This pic has given me reason to chase down a perfect pair of RC35's...

RC35 are the model of suspension forks made by Pace at the time. The Pace forks were used on the FS Elevator featured in the Merlin brochure.
