No ofcourse it wasnt. It was 1 of many sites i looked at. I didnt spend £1,800 on a frame without looking into it first.

If you spent £1800 on that frame then I think it's yourself who has been ripped off. :?

In fairness, the Merlin is built like a swiss watch, amazing attention to detail.

toasty

God damn, I posted and deleted that within a 2 minute window. I read that earlier post, replied, then continued reading and realised it was a Merlin frame. Nggh! :P

Going by the old conversation I'd assumed it was a Charge Duster Ti he'd bought.

supersonic

Lol, and just to clarify for other readers, not the merlin we get in the UK that does MALTS!

toasty

Yeah, quite shocking the 2 companies can both sell under the same name really :?

I think it's time to set up "Toastys Litespeed Bikes" shop, we deal mainly in cheap imported taiwanese frames.

djvagabon

No, its the Merlin 17 inch XLM frame i have.

toasty

Very nice!

djvagabon

Thanks. Thats the first thing weve agreed on lol.

KnightofCydonia

speaking of merlin, do they still do the ti rock lobster bike that was about £1300 these days?

supersonic

Yes, that is the UK merlin though. That was the harsh one I was on about, though for 2009 they have redesigned it.

The Titanium (coloured) Stumpy is the same as I have:



Titanium is my second fave material next to carbon fibre!

Shame I had to sell my motorbike as it had a titanium and carbon exhaust:

why did you have to sell your bike cos of the exxhaust?

my old mans bike is one of the old M-Traxs team frams that was ti and cromo glued togeter. make for a stiffer ride than my cromo framed bike never like the fell ao aluminum bikes. cromo all ways felt nicer to me

No sold it cause of injury making it unsafe to ride a motorbike it was heart braking - especially as the new owner of the exhaust has been emailing me pics of his bike with it fitted!

The actual bike goes this weekend

The only 2 wheels I will be riding now is self powered

Bobhellen

gutting but at least you still have some form of 2 wheels

djvagabon

Bad news about the bike. I had my old blade stolen. It was race speced by Harris, Brembo carbon ceramic brakes and full Micron serpant system, it was kicking out 197 b.h.p.

Just console yourself with the fact it was probably painted anyway! :twisted:


djvagabon, that is a very nice build you've got, I think I'm somewhat jealous.

gcwebbyuk

haha no it was definately pure titanium and carbon tip - weight about half the weight of the one I took off!

It did only make 109 rw-bhp though so not a mosnter like djvagabon's ex bike - hope the bar-stewards that nicked it are serving up drinks in jail now!

djvagabon

Thanks, but the way this country is. Even if they got caught they would probably let them off. When i got done for speeding i got a 2 year ban and a £1,500 fine. My solicitor said id of gotten off with less if id pinched the bike.

djvagabon

Thanks Batch. It is an abselutely stunning bike. It was definately worth the money.

djvagabon

I like the Stumpy. I usedto have 1 and it was a great bike. I had a red 1.
