1990 Merlin monstercross. Now with Magura Cyclecross brakes

[Huntso]

Has it got the pressed in Grease Guard BB that those early Merlin's had?

 

[novekili]

Huntso: no, the grase guard started in 1991, this is a 1990. Just the pressed in BB, no GG

What's a LD stem?

 

[DocBraunson]

you should go Specialized Forged Titanium stem because i have a 130mm one that needs a home.

 

[novekili]

Hahaha... well, I've got a Spesh as well, but this baby needs a quill stem...

 

[RockiMtn]

Yes, it needs to "lose" the flexstem.

 

[Dead Rats]

I think a black steel stem would look good & would match the forks. Salsa?

Salsa would be good, they do very high rise stems - ideal for dirt droppers!

 

[novekili]

in steel and quill?

 

[novekili]

now with CX MAguras and Paul-Ringlé wheels

 

[Agency_Scum]

Wow, gorgeous. I'd lose that Flexstem though. Well done on sourcing a pair of Magura road levers.....RARE AS ROCKING HORSE POO!

 

[novekili]

I know, the flexstem is plain ugly, but the bike gets used, even for long rides, and that extra cush come in handy when you have a sore back like mine...

More, a Nitto moustache bar might be the next upgrade...
