: : What does the recent purchase of Merlin by Hyde Industries mean for Merlin and Merlin owners? I am worried that Merlin will disappear like Bontrager. Maybe Vandermark made the right move. Any thoughts?
: I have some honest thoughts about this and I can sum it up in 3 words: Serotta or Seven.
: Hey, at least I'm not going back to my Litespeed Ultimate!
I'll second Seven. I was all set to lay down a stack of cash for the XLM when I heard of the buy-out. What good
is a lifetime warranty if there won't be a Merlin? I also started to question the reasons for the
departure of Vandermark and company. So, I've decided to get a Seven Sola - basically a
custom XLM without any extra cost.
Ride Hard,
Mike
