the moots is smaller than the merlin (you mention 19in for the latter) and now 16.5 for the moots ( edited)

but what are the exact measurements in cm for the moots ?
(inches are tough for us on the continent !)

top tube C/C
and seatube C/T

Wow, that was fast. Did you even get a chance to ride it?

If You would ever split the Moots, I would like the seatpost. Probably ain't gonna happen though

 

[Defiant]

and if you are going to spilt up the merlin i would like the cranks very much so

top tube C/C 55cm
and seatube C/T 40cm

its more like 16'' id say, but im 6ft tall and it fits me just fine, never get aches after riding the moots, been out in the sunshine today on it.

yeah, for about 1mile

i changed the seat, stuck some skinny tires on it and rode it to the park to take the main picture.

aint had time to renew the rear cassette and chain, i have been that busy with my new house.

im looking for something simiar set up wise but in steel or alu to mess around on, this is too nice to keep in the garden shed.
