Any info on the Raleigh Merlin will be appreciated

Never heard of one. More likely an 80's model. Would be instructive to know where the badge says it was made. Raleigh Canada models had different names through much of their line-up than did Raleigh USA and Raleigh England models. Again - this was the case in the 80's.
