It was a dream, now it's a project… Merlin 92
- Thread starter 24pouces

Steel rigid fork only…
Actually, the shop who has sold me that frame has offered me the ritchey fork (from an old C'dale I think). I would find a Steve Potts fork or an old swiss "Ferraroli". Steel is good with titanium frame. It's the same spirit.
(In France this frame was sold with a Pace-elastomer)
I think that the girvin would be the better suspension for this bike !
But, I've got an old Merlin bar too. But I have to do another decal for it…

I agree : good proportion and geometry are the key : the picture shown is only a "sketch" for looking the geometry and I'm going to take time for building.
For the stem, it's a 130mm. I will receive a 110mm from Vitorzip. On other hand, I'm thinking about a steel stem with a merlin Bar...
It's a small size but not so sloping for a 15"
Beauty of a frame you've got there, but you really should match it up with a Ti fork.
Have James @ http://www.blacksheepbikes.com/ build you a nice unicrown for that baby. They are fab forks. Had one built for my KK.

build it w/ xtr m900 incl. it's seatpost. ritchey logic fork. ritchey stem and merlin bars.
that's how it would be built then. that's the best possible parts from a mechanical efficiency viewpoint.
