200? Merlin XLM

[raidan73]

I bought this a year or two ago with a view to building it up for my wife however my son has had a growth spurt and his 24” wheeled Vitus is starting to look a bit like a clown bike.
I’m needing plenty of parts to build it so it won’t be a quick one. Decided to pop it on the kitchen scales as it felt pretty damn light.....which it is!

Very cool. Engraved BB and stick on headbadge point to 2004.

This one takes a 28.2mm seatpost, which seems unusual

This fork probably doesn’t do the frame justice but it’s spare and I don’t have anything else suitable. Short Thomson stem and a USE Ti post fitted

Nice looking frame and project, lucky lad

Thanks Mark. It’s going to be a bit of a cobbled together bike when it’s done I fear!
