1993 MERLIN Titanium retro MTB build-up thread with much Syncros and Ringlé

Maybe the shim inserted in the seat tube isnt original after all.

i think i made the same mistake with mine and was using a 27mm initially as i thought 27.2mm was not the right fit as it was really tight to get in. but it does go in and i've stuck with it since.

Beautiful build!

After you restored the decals on the cranks, do you protect them when going for a ride? These wear off so easily.

No, I kept it original. If they wear off, I simply put new ones on.

A much better idea! I’ve started a rebuild that is quite similar to yours (documented next door)…

Hi Fguki, I want to get in touch because of the Syncros decals. How on earth do you start a private conversation on this site? Seems like the best hidden feature
