Looking at purchasing a new bike, want a mountain for XC mainly, front shocks and discs. Always had Kona's in the past, but have been looking at merlin malt 2-08

New 2008 Merlin Malt 2 frame

2008 Rockshox Reba SL forks with poploc remote lockout

Full 2008 spec LX groupset

Wheels - Handbuilt with LX discs hubs and Mavic XC717 disc rims

Race Face Evolve XC bars, stem and seatpost

Panaracer fire XC tyres

WTB Rocket V saddle

anyone have experience with merlin?


cheers
