in reply to: Chinese titanium tubing used in Merlin framesets. Taiga is referred to as the "cheese" bike by employees. What a waste for $1500 bucks. Questions need to be addressed. posted by Concerned consumer on february 17, 1998 at 23:31:39:
Enough of your whining! PJE is correct. I spend dozens of hours testing bikes before I buy. Hey, maybe the Merlin is not built for your body or your riding style. I'll tell you that I love to ride. I race hard, I play hard. The last three bikes I purchased were Merlins. I can't bear to part with any of them. 1 road, 1 Mountain, 1 XLM. I worked hard for my money and wanted to be sure I was spending it wisely. Something (someone?)tells me you didn't work for your money and probably had mommy or daddy buy it for you. Next time, do some homework and you won't be such an embarrasment...to yourself.
