no flat cap, can't be a zaskar ! :eek:😄;)

thank u.

Where are the cracks, I see scuffs and paint missing, and the hanger, but no obvious cracks?

My X wants to sell the bike I built for her with love some 20 yrs ago. It's a nice medium Epiphany, Fox Float 130, Hayes Stroker. The rest is relatively ordinary XT etc. However, there is a little hidden gem there, in the Chris King Titanium headset that I mounted. She's short of cash due to...

which country?

I have a rough 18" with plans to respray. And a complete mint package. Have checked the local hw store and color matched with a specific RAL, on 'eye measurement' only, or actually with another mint bravado and colored duplo bricks. 'One uses what one has' as the saying in my country goes.

great new old stock pos, still fresh and relevant, perhaps more so now bc time have passed, and there is therefore less real NOS parts left than before.

nice. it's a bit much money but the bike is not easy to come by and especially in that condition. given it's not original but a respray and which looks very well done, they have invested some love and money in it.

lovely color matching with that fork & all the rest. stem, seatpost, chainrings are right color too for balance, but the rim decals and tyre labels really top it off.

Wow, so nice. First one I've seen in polished version, I thought they were all brushed!

I've had one of those frames. Nice try at DH and alu frames, but not a great design. He makes super nice road frames today.

1991 Merida Albontech LX. All stock except, for practical reasons, since it is still in regular use, saddle, tyres, pedals, bell. And Onzas of course, for all that climbing. This one made me fall in love with our sport.

Super, thanks! Great info & conclusive.

I think that is the prototype beryllium frame that GT made before they licensed their brand to Ford for their race cars.

That makes sense, good to know! It should be easily seen if they are made in that way, the carbon would have a seam where they are joined. Pics of that?
