I have multiple builds going on at the moment, this is one of them that i havent posted about, so here we go.
Merlin Newsboys are a bit like marmite, you hate them or you love them. Obviously I’m in the second camp.
Over the years I’ve asked around, send a few e-mails and dm’s here and there to various people, see if they wanted to sell theirs. Never successful, always either ‘sold already’ or ‘try and pry from my cold dead hands’ scenario’s.
So i had pretty much given up, until I noticed this ad on the forum last year. The ad had some dutch language in it… could it be?
It was listed as size M where i knew i needed size L, also no pictures and a hefty price tag.. still, i decided to send a dm.
As it turns out, it was a size L and indeed it was being sold by a gentleman from the Netherlands, i couldn’t believe my luck!
I visited the gentleman twice before finally pulling the trigger and ended up with a grail. A grail with issues, but still.
I will elaborate on the issues later, this will be a challenging build.
Here's how i found it and what i took home.
