: Does anyone have info and opinion regarding the Merlin suspension frame that was made in limited quanities in 1993 and 1994? I am specificly looking for possible shock options better than the horrible elastomer unit originally supplied. Is metal fatigue and possible failure a real issue? Can Merlin repair a damaged frame especially the pivotless flexing chainstays? Any opinions good or bad would be appreciated. I tried to call Merlin repeatly but got no answer, lights on- nobody's home!
Hi Graham! I have been riding my Merlin FS for a while now but recently my elastomer has given way. Can you find supplies of these elastomers? I can't get them in my country. I wrote to Merlin but no reply yet. I try to find an air-oil substitute but in vain too. Thanks.
