Here are a few pics of my latest addition to the family.
I can't decide whether I like the front fork or not? :?
I need Gil to sort me some new decals out if poss.

I like it, looks very mean.

I like the forks, considering some similar forks myself(USE Subs) for my Yeti. Looks trick and different.

so you bought it? Very very very nice. Hope to see it in the flesh some time.

Nice buy Doogie.

I like the fork too but it's too long for that frame. That fork is 100mm travel and the frame was built for 63mm, or 80mm max! I'd fit something shorter - Pace or SIDs.

Still a very nice bike. If I'd been less lanky I'd have been tempted to buy it myself.

I think that frame was designed for this fork ?

Any idea what headset size is on this frame? :?
It looks soooo big?

You could well be right Chris - it would answer Doogie's question as the headtube does appear to be Headshok size, 1.5" I believe?

Another Merlin owner told me the fork was wrong length. But he's easily confused!

Yes I bought it, and I am now contemplating selling either one or both my paces to recover funds :cry:
I don't want to but we shall see :roll:

Does this mean that I can't change this fork to an 1 1/8" size should I want to?
