Steve Potts Titanium Frame

Someone want to message the chap selling it on my behalf to ask if he wants to sell that stem separately!?

Can't create an account from the US :(

Oh, and what he'd like for the frame too! ;) Just out of curiosity, you understand...
 
That's not actually Merlin's old website though, is it? It's a guy (same guy that has the Merlin Museum instagram account? https://www.instagram.com/merlintitanium) that collects loads of old Merlins, and also titanium bikes and parts in general?

I think the Potts above is just a Ti Potts the same guy has in his collection.

Certainly a weird looking number tho!

I can't see a reason Steve would have Merlin make frames for him, unless there was some window between working on steel and mastering Ti, where he didn't feel confident in the quality of his own work?

Not that I know all that much about any of this... happy to be wrong/corrected/learn more!

Who knows more about the Silver Salmon!?
 
That is one crazy private collection !
I was told that website had info and photos of all of Merlin's early work.
I thought Merlin built titanium bikes/parts for several companies BITD.
( There is an interesting flow chart on the site, attached below )

It's not easy tracking info down on who made early Ti bikes as they seemed to be outsourced quite often.
