Merlin Malt …? What’s she worth ?

[Mobnob2]

Hi
I’ve got this bike it’s a Merlin early version believe it’s a malt.
SRAM shifters and mech Shimano brakes.
Very good condition considering age.
What is she worth ?
Thanks J

In my neck of the woods (South Coast) you'd do well to get £40 on facebook.

Maybe worth keeping it then. Thanks

That looks like a Liyang frame. Has it got a frame number starting with LY on the outside of the non drive side dropout?

I’ll check when I get home. What does Liyang frame mean please

 

[sam_white]

They're a company that makes bike frames - https://liyang.com/

Another that looks similar to yours was for sale here recently: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/merlin-frame.492997/

The frame number will confirm if it's the same.

Yep it’s a LY

I’ve had several of these.

Had to give the frames away to get rid mostly.

Around £20-30 as a full bike if you are lucky.

Parts are worth a bit more ? Could sell bits individually

Parts are usually worth more than a full bike. But again , nothing on there is going to get anyone excited so you will likely just end up with a bike in parts left over.
