Seen that Ash's (Vinevo) other Merlin frame is being put to good use. This one's the 1993 frame I've just bought, so not here yet.
I've thought about them before but never got around to buying one. As I'm not the most patient person (to put it mildly) and, with there being no steel HT's around that I liked, I thought it was a good opportunity to pick one up. It's a build for my other brother. With the crack I'm just not in the mood to look at the Manitou at the moment and anyway, it will never be a "normal" bike where you can ride it where and how you like.
I've a good idea what it's going to look like, although exact components depends on what turns up. I'm just not going to spend an age getting them together, bikes are to be ridden. That doesn't mean it won't look good, hopefully. Subdued and classy I guess you could say the plan is. Not a whole lot of colour but just enough to stop it looking grey and bland. We'll see how it goes.
Have some nice parts here but still have a good long list of things I still need, (hint, hint, see my wanted posts!).
Just a pic that Ash took for now, you know what they look like anyway.
