Not my choice of builds but it's all about the frame right? If this was a 16"......

This is proper cool and rare as. It could also turn out to be a real bargain since he's not posting and it's up in Cumbria. The frame looks in really good shape - I really like it - that noodle is lovely!

Even with all the modern kit on it, you could flip that fairly quickly and focus on building a cracking bike.

So questions. Who was making these back in 91? It's got the sloping top tube so had it shifted from Merlin at this point?

Indeed. If it was smaller I'd have been taking a long drive!!

Yep, sub £500, you should make something back on the crap parts. But then spend a fortune on period ;-)
