It was the complete bike...I bought it for a friend but I bought it on a snap and it's a wee bigger than I thought at 19" but the top is quite short at 21.75" ish which is what I seem to remember with these frames, slightly shorter than average top.
Finished in matt midnight blue with gold decals
Its a Merlin RL as suspected and built around 2003 with full XT M750 (not checked) groupset. Hope brakes, Marzocchi Marathon SL, X317 rims, Panaracer tyres Easton EA50 post and Syncros Stem.
Condition is NOS
Probably worth the 7 hours drive but right now I don't think so
