Late 90's 59cm Merlin Extralight. Includes silver Chris King headset
that was purchased new this year. Also includes Columbus Muscle all
carbon fork with carbon steerer. 1" steerer. Fork has approx. 500
miles.
(This raked fork has a carbon unibody (fully carbon) and is designed
for long distances for professionals. Lightness and comfort are the
main characteristics of this fork. The use of the special titanium
mesh layer together with the particular profiling of the fork blade
facilitates the absorption of high frequency vibrations such as those
induced by irregular terrain and braking. High Modulus carbon fibre
has also been used for the 'skin' of Muscle, and this adds extra
stability and strength. So overall, comfort, adhesion and better
control. 1" or 1 1/8" 380 grams)
Also included 130mm x 17 degree Forte stem, new unused headtube metal
badge not attached yet, new frame decals with installation
instructions, a very large window decal and a System 1 Trek seatpost
with micro head adjustment.
Bike frame is incredible. You will not be disappointed.
MTS325 Size-specific Seamless Tubing
By any measure, the Merlin Extralight has no peer. Built with MTS325
size-specific seamless tubing, the Extralight rides with an
exhilarating blend of comfort, speed, and sure-footed security. Frame
weights start at an amazing 2.4 pounds. Yet the Extralight's exclusive
double-butted titanium tubing has greater fatigue
strength-to-weight--both before and after welding--than any other
frame material, to guarantee a lifetime of durable performance. The
Extralight's comprehensive list of features is almost overwhelming.
Highlights include the oversize, laterally rigid 7/8-inch
double-butted chainstays, individually selected custom-sized MTS325
tubing for each frame size, and Merlin 6-4 titanium dropouts with
vertical slots for instantaneous wheel changes, all set into pure
racing geometry designed by Tom Kellogg. Additional details include a
precision-reamed super-durable extended seat collar; our exclusive
lightweight internally relieved bottom bracket shell that is machined,
faced and threaded after welding to guarantee perfect alignment and
concentricity, and Merlin's welded tubular three-piece brake bridge
with a machined center boss to eliminate brake chatter at any speed.
