Smooth 92 Merlin

Here we go. Under the advise of a good friend I am posting one of my favorites. 1992? (Correct me if I’m wrong) Merlin. Starting out with XTR M900 around the board when I bought it, I’ve changed a few items. Now it has a sexy TNT crank fitted with a complete set of Boone Ti rings. The rear is paired with a SRP cassette and blue spacers to match. Grafton Speed Controllers on front and back stop this monster. As always, it’s held together with a no logo king headset.
Rolling down the road happens in style with the original cream smoke and dart rubber. One of the very unique features of this bike is the incredible set of Royal Bicycle Works hubs laced to a nice set of MT17 hoops. I went for a few splashes of syncros on the seatpost and stem paired with a Hyperlite handlebar.
The few items left are a saddle, some pedals and levers switched from the stock silver to a carbon set I have. Shout out to my guy @Rambo Mambo for getting me to post this sexy beast
