These do look impeccably clean for 25 year old brakes, almost NOS, but I would say that some photos that don't look like they've been taken with a 25 year old camera would really help here.
They're pro levers and the no.3 calipers fit 185 front and 165 rear discs.
Seems like the default font changes to white for dark mode, but half of your description is a custom font colour so it doesn't change, and ends up invisible in dark mode.
Maybe it was more difficult back then to make those bends, because there were plenty of titanium frames around for a grand. I can't imagine many newsboys actually had one!
I'm sorry to be the one, but I have to ask - why wade this frame £7000 in 2002, the equivalent of £13,000 in 2025??
I couldn't find any answers, but I did find this useful PDF: https://merlintitanium.com/images/merlin/misc/merlin_2002_catalog_flyer_newsboy.pdf
Think I saw this on facebook, people talking about how the previous owner didn't have a clue what the frame was really for. Did you buy it a couple of weeks ago for a decent price?
