Re:

those decals are not original to the frame

White decals appeared after 1993.....


1990 frames were designed by Joe Murray - so rob vandermark decals are inappropriate for that frame.

you are confused. this frame brought white and black series decals.I have pictures before replacing the old stickers. ask newsboy.
but everything is debatable.
Cheers F.R.O.

Re:

I'm not disputing you at all. Perhaps I am mistaken.

p.s. did you buy your bike in 1990 / 1991 or after June 1992?

This page has some catalogs from merlin. White decals did not appear until the 2nd half of 1992. http://mombat.org/MOMBAT/BikeHistoryPages/Merlin.html



My 1992 has black decals (and I still have the original receipts from when it was purchased, so I can give you the exact date and time ).
My 1993 has the white decals....

That said, sometimes older frames were sold in later years....

Re: Merlin metal work by Rob

do not worry. always good to talk. Serial numbers beginning of the year at number 92in 6354.

know other frames with serial number 2407. 90 would be a period. also with the same type of sticker.
I for example have two.
One 636 serial number,black color. another in white 1424.

I'm no expert 100%. but who told me. This frame was bringing these stickers factory, have been replaced by the same model.


Cheers!

I had No 2960 from 1989/90 and it came originally with white decals. How do you explain that?
