Are we an elite few who have no qualms about spending
more money on a bike than a latest "Inside-MMX-16speed-
4GB-EDO-3D-Pentium" machine ? Yes,we are,but why?
A possible reason may be,that my Merlin 92' with GG
survived 3 Susp.Forks and a lot of braking systems.
Once the year after 10000 hard trail-kilometers,I have to
replace the bearings in the bb,because they are blew out...
All the parts changed sequently - the magic gray element
never change his face...
When you have money left- and you have -try a TI-seatpost
from Synchros or Merlin(?),it's worth the money every mile
you ride !!!Another big stuff is the White Bros. setup
inside the Judy SL ...
Anything I don't like ? Well, friends of mine,who swing
theirs legs over my Merlin headed out on the trail
and when they back, they offer me half the price !!!!!
Incredible .....
Anyway , where can I get the piece of plastic under the
bottom bracket ?
Thanks for reading
