Aah so that'll be my custom frame then :) I'll send you a pic once it's fully built up (Magura Ronins, Marta discs, Middleburn cranks and a Tune wheelset), though at the moment im just running some cheapo wheels while i build the decent ones. First impression: It accelerates like a road bike! Unbelievably stiff and responsive frame, great handling as it was designed around the Ronin forks, light but not stupidly light, and a fantastic paintjob. Worth the 3 month wait, thanks Paul!

This Blog was started just as a bit of fun and to keep everyone updated and also just to give a bit of more of an insight into the sights, sounds and smells of Merlin Cycles.
