Merida mountainbikes, anyone?
Hi guys!
Just wanted to know if anyone else out there owns a Merida bike. I'm not sure if they're sold in the U.S., but I think they're available in Europe. If you own one, please share your experiences with the bike.
(Merida website: www.merida-bikes.com )
I got the Matts Champion LX model (frame only), with specs below:
frame = Merida Matts Champion LX
fork = Manitou Axel Elite 80mm
stem/seatpost = Amoeba
saddle = WTB Rocket V
handlebars = Turbolite riser
crankset = Shimano Deore (non-series) 44/32/22
cassette = Shimano Deore 11-34
shifters/brake levers = Shimano Deore Dual Control
brakes = Avid BB7
front der. = Shimano Deore LX
rear der. = Shimano Deore LX low-normal
rims = Mavic X221
hubs = M.O.B. disc
tires = Continental Twister 1.9 / Maxxis Larsen TT 2.0
pedals = Specialized platform
computer = CatEye Velo 1

Merida bikes are among the best frames available in Europe. One of my LBS is a Merida authorized dealer and the bikes are great. I´ve ridden them and they are of very good quality.
