Just finished building up a 1992 Merlin Mountain.
Finished with XTR/Proshift/Syncros/Pace RC31's, it is the nicest bike I have ever ridden.
Superb build quality, feels like it will out live me. Extremely light (no scales to give exact weight) it is so flickable on the single track with the rear a strange mix of stiff for rapid acceleration and yet the Ti quality of soaking up the worst of the bumps.
I absolutely love it - certainly not cheap, but so far I consider it worth every penny.
That reminds me that I need to take some pics - if it ever stops raining I'll take some and post.
