Merlin Ti Road Frame

Have been waiting anxiously for this classic frame to get shipped in. Merlin is one of the renown titanium frame maker in the bike industry. It is also one of the dream Ti frames i wanna own.

Some description of this beautiful handbuilt frame. Built at 1995, in Cambridge, Massachusetts before the company merged with Lightspeed . A classic Merlin frame with beautiful welds and tubing joinery, just a work of art to behold.

This particular era Merlin comes in 1" headtube and classic downtube shift mounts which take the adjustable Campy or Shimano cable blocks. The later Merlin frames provide a dedicated housing terminator mounted higher up, not allowing fine shift cable adjustments.

Caine's bike upgrade

The previously posted Trek 5500 SS bike, now have a new look. Without the ugly rear deraileur as tensioner and a brand new bling white industry eno rear hub.

The rear hub is a flip-flop hub, which means it can be fix gear or freehub just by installing the rear wheel the other way.

Caine, change to a black quill stem & bartape, shorten the bullhorn, change a decent brake lever and lastly the black saddle la~ Anyway, looking forward for your next upgrade!

Happy New Year!!!

It has been quite sometime since i got any new stuff to post. Having a hard time getting rid of my Karma, but got something precious coming in soon!! Cant wait for it to arrive.

Here somethings that happen around me this while. Xueying and Eveyln recently got themselves a road bike each.

Xueying's bike is a Fuji with 105 and Tiagra parts. Heard from my team that the bike si very nice looking. Eve's bike is specialized allez with tiagra parts with 105 rear dee. Not sure how nice it was built, buti will ask both of them for their bike pic and post them up.

My secondary school teacher, Mr Teo is planning for his final bike project, a titanium recumbent. He is now raising funds for this bike, selling off his Daccordi steel frame, either 1 of his titanium frames which i think is the EXCEL Ti frame. Good luck for his sale of items.

As for me, my short term goal will be selling off the Karma Frame or to set it up. Next is also to sell of the 'precious' i mention above, really hope i can sell both of them off. Follow up by these two is to buy a street bike for my bro, or should i say for myself. haha!
