I have a 14.5" GT Rebound 7005 frame only listed on eBay.com. It's a flat Ti painted color and weighs 4lbs 3oz. I had it built up for my younger son who used it as school transportation only. It's never been on a trail.

Thanks, nice GT frame, but with postage, going to cost too much.

Frame

What you want to pay? Have a just powder coated Reynolds 631/Ritchey tubed US built Merlin badged(Lancashire not MM) in 14 inch lovely light snake stayed steel frame as new, Ritchey micro drop outs BB and head tube?

Forgot also got a small Original non Trek Klein Pinnacle also that needs a rebuild.

As little as possible ;-)
No idea really, i paid £95 for the complete kona fire mountain.
Was blown away with the way the 14" performed/handled.
So is the merlins geometry like the kona.
Any pics, how much you looking for it? i'll give you half of that...

Merlin

Paid £109 for the Stove Enamelling, just want this back on it really.

what does it weigh, and how long is the top tube c-c?

Bike

Weighs about 4.3 pounds so is light without being fragile. Top tube is CTC just short of 21 inches but as its dropped effective is just over 21 inches. The finish is really good (Jacksons paint all Oranges' bikes) When I took it in to Jackson for the re enamel (I'd Chemically stripped it- but they bead blasted it) I asked what it would cost for them to build one the same. as they build a lot of frames. They quoted me £900 to £1000! Any other info You would like?
