Merlins--remember beauty in the eye of the beholder. Italian steel is "pretty" but that isnt the
True, and in that vein, the final decision comes
down to materials, aesthetics, cost, etc.
Litespeeds *may* be technically better, but I
have to say those bent stays are butt-ugly; but
hey, that's just my opinion, right?...
: Merlin may delete or censor my posting because they might not consider it "appropriate" to criticize their bikes.
Nah, not likely. That would be no class, and
fortunately I've not seen too much of it amongst
quality Ti frame mfgrs. The truth speaks for
itself. It's incumbant upon the buyer to find out
what the truth is.

ps-I own NEITHER a Merlin nor Litespeed so
don't be whining...
