1998 Merlin Extralight
I bought this Merlin new and had it built up with a Dura Ace group. It is an 8speed. It has an AirRail carbon fork, Mavic Open4 CD wheels on Dura Ace hubs. The seat is a Rolls Titanium. The bike is in excellent condition with most decals fully intact; a few have some small parts missing. It has Rob Vandermark on the left chain stay. I used the chart on this forum to determine the year by the serial number and it matches with my memory.
I'm very curious of the value of this bike now as I consider switching out some components etc.
Thanks!

Hard to really value these. Vintage ti is generally under valued. My merlin is the finest production bike I've ridden, but it's not worth as much as a more common paramount. Does yours have the press in BB? That affects value.
I will ball park it at 1100-1300 on eBay in good shape with a quality ad.
