Re: Merlin Elevator FS
A good riding friend of mine, rode one all over the World, for years, French and Austrian Alps, Durango, Whistler, Dolomites and even S.A. and Oz and it never missed a beat, ran it with Pace RC 38 Forks and M950 mostly.

The frame is really a work of art!
Merlin at its best, definitely!
There were not 500 built but max. 150 if I remember it correctly...
The normal Elevators were introduced in 1991
The FS Elevators in 1993
But honestly I wouldn't drive such a piece of mountain bike history..
I've a friend and he thought he could "race" his old school Merlin XLM... but unfortunately it broke near the headset..
Cheers,

Re: Merlin Elevator FS
Sounds like a badly fitted fork/headset. Otherwise I think it is a little bit sad that these bikes get relegated to some garage because ppl think that they are too "precious".
