: In reply to B L's concerns re locating a good source for a merlin. I agree with Brian Zangg's comments re Excel Sports Boulder Colorado. I "did business" with this company via fax ( I'm a crazy Canuk stuck way up here in the frozen North!)and I have nothing but good things to say about the way i was treated by the Excel Folks. I would not hesitate in ordering my Merlin from them for the same reasons that Brian indicates. Excel have a great catalogue that you should send for! Keep Ridin!
