Great turn out for the show n shine, I was only able to attend for a couple hours but managed to snap a few photos 😁

Umm, well... couple more changes 😂 It took a while to come across and early (as compared to repop) Turbo saddle in decent shape that was affordable but I think the Turbo suits even better than the Rolls which found a new home on my Ritchey 😁 Also, came across and nice set of XT wheels with...

Yes, it sure does make a good stable mate to the Brodie. I'm guessing some of us rank our bikes to some degree. I'd say the Merlin will be a tie with my Brodie at the top of my list regarding bikes I have most wanted since diving deep into the sport in the late 80s. I will definitely provide a...

Nice, thanks for chiming in. I was already guessing my decal to be missing a few mm at the right, my measurement was only 96mm based on what is still visible, great that you were able to measure one still fully intact 👍

I'd make it silver, but only because the dog collar is 👍

No problem at all, I just dug up this pic from Adrian's 1990 Kona Titanium build thread from a while back, this will help me be more accurate

I’ve previously said more than once “no more bikes”. This was mainly stated to keep the peace with my better half. Recently I got away with adding the RM Blizzard but when an opportunity to acquire a Merlin Ti MTB recently presented itself I knew I’d be selling a bike. I’m still in the process...

Yes, paintwork turned out great, nicely done 👍

Looks amazing 🤩, glad the tires finally showed up 👍🏻 1st Gen RF Turbines would suit IMO (the clover spider vs the later Turbine LP) The LX crank is looking great as a place holder though 😎

Thanks! I like your build as well. The OG cranks go really well as well as the M950 bits. Love the red accents too. I think these are great riding bikes 👍

Recent swap back to stock fork :cool:

So I’m parting out one of my other bikes. I’m not a collector that likes to do this but in order to stay in my better half’s good books and take on another bike it became necessary (more on this new to me bike in a future build thread). The bike which is leaving the stable had the Judy fork and...
