Crickey I didn't think they made sloped top tube ones back then.
Funny how all of us XLM owners seem to lean towards carbon forks isn't it?
Why compromise on weight i suppose. They are properly light ti frames.
Very nice mate, like it.
Maybe we should have an XLM owner's club section -

Nice Bike 
I allso have a XLM (2005) with the same Pace RC-31 Ti (custom made 420mm version).
Its a great fork in a outstanding frame.
I am looking forward to see it with titanium components.

I've only got a humble Merlin Mountain ('96) but I do have Pace RC-31's on it.
Nice looking bike fella.
Very tidy looking indeed and the forks really compliment it.
As an aside, I've always thought it a shame that Pace (or the other similar carbon fork manufacturers) don't do a rim brake only version although I guess there probably isn't the market.

But the dropouts do look cool in that they are asymetrical as the disc one is shallower.
I kind of like redundent disc mounts. Shows a definate choice of rejecting decent braking options! Ha ha.
Merlin owners club then boys? As you all are.
Steve - we could stick XLM stickers on yours -
(JOKE). RB Merlin owners club it is then.

Fab, I've never been in a club before who is designing the logo? Or do we just need a tiny, discreet, classy logo for the top tube? Or a handshake (this one is a beautiful straight line, please someone do it justice)?
