Hi…you have a beautiful frame and Im really interested in it…unfortunately you stated its only for trade…if you change your mind, do PM me…thanks
 
Does anyone want to sell me one of those other bikes that the OP is looking for so that I can trade with him?
(Of course if it's a Merlin Elevator, I'd want to keep it).
Hey, ya can't blame a guy for tryin'.
 
Christ, I've been looking for one of these for years!

Unfortunately, I don't own any of the bikes you’re looking for but if you don’t mind me asking lots of questions...

What makes you think it's one of 19? I'd seen the photo of your frame on the Merlin website and have tracked down two others in Europe (Switzerland and France). Where are you; US?

There seem to be two versions of the Combat and I’m guessing the one that doesn’t have the Pro Comp/Durango dropouts is the earlier version?

all 3 used to be in switzerland, including the french one.

@ErikFive do you have more infos about the production numbers from the titanium frames?

I've been working on the assumption that they'd been sent to the Funk distributer (Sevysa) in Switzerland as a "special". Which is why they hadn't been spread any wider.

Any additional info would be greatly appreciated.
