So...........I need to make room.
1996 Merlin XLM frame. I have the original receipt from River City Bikes in Portland, OR USA.
Original thread: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... merlin+xlm
This photo I took with the 650b Wheelset on the bike.
19" C-C seat tube
23" C-C top tube
This frame is crazy light. I have never had it on a scale but man, it seems to float.
I was going to build this as a 650b SS but I got the email last week that my Black Cat was getting welded next week and I will take delivery 2 months sooner then expected.
The frame is in great shape. No chain suck at all.
I just noticed, looking at my build thread, that there seems to be a small dent in the seat tube. I will check that out tonight and get better photos.
This price is for the Frameset only. If you need a seat post I can throw in a different Syncros post.
$800us shipped
