mine are rusting away too!
funny how a ti rust free bike has rusty brake bosses! kinda F@%*&ED; up if you ask me!
Merlin bikes are of such a high uncompramising
quality that they do not need to advertise as much as cheap-o bikes like litespeed etc...
they are the undisputed TI champions better than the incredibly pricy Ibis BLaaach. Just look at the beefy frame better yet flip it with your fingernail and hear it ting. Better yet ride it, then ride that other crap and you will see. You don't see advertisements for Porsche or Ferrari on T.V. now do you? No, because everyone knows they are superb cars. Merlin has the same reputation with bikes! In the US Merlin rules it is just a fact. If you wish to see merlin advertisements pick up a European bike mag they will probably have one. They aren't as hip to merlin as those of us in the U.S. are. As for the bike bosses I don't know what to say! Or what to do about mine! I would like to know myself. Are they even changable at all?
any of you hotshots at merlin who made this page have a suggestion for your bunk brake bosses?
