Not really a catalogue but I've just spent an hour or so routing out a lot of my old photos, scanning and uploading them and thought they might be of interest...

Hope that'll do you for now...
 
Brilliant stuff, thanks for sharing - used to love those 90's shows.

Like the bit about the ex too - she looked nice then though... :)
 
cracking photos. What is the linkage fork on the front of the Merlin - got any info on that? Was it an in-house thing? What shock did it use (can't quite see)?
 
I believe the fork on the front of the Merlin is based on the Vector fork used by Proflex only this one was made out of titanium of course.
 
Great pictures...that's Dave Hemming's Kona Hei Hei by the way....
 
Love the Trimble paint job :cool: :cool: That bike was reviewed in the comics.
 
That smokestone looks amazing :shock: :cool:

agree with the trimble, stunning paint
