XLM should have an XM serial number. What year is that? Can you do some detail pics?

Here are some more pics and serial number

It's a lovely bike. I guess it's a bit later and the S/N format changed.

Please cut that steerer down though!

Thanks

But I'm thinking about parting her out as I'm thinking about moving to 650b, so I need to keep the steerer length for resale value

Here's mine,

Merlin Mountain 1993 serial no. 9435.

Cheers, Ash.

I'm not quite sure how to read this - it's either 660 or 99

I'd go for 660

Having said that, 660 doesnt exist according to this.

here you go - note that the headtube is still painted (Team Merlin). I was planning to strip out the residual paint and repaint the frame.
