: : 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.
I have the exact bike that you are speaking of! What is it that you need for the bike, was it just parts and elastomers that you need? please respond and and I will see what it is that I can do to help you as much as possible, my bike is amazing!! It has caused me no trouble at all and has been nothing but a Godsend!!
