My wrenching happens at night and not in the rain, so indoors it is.

As a meeting of vintage and modern, I bring to you a bike I never knew about: the Merz Edition Specialized Sequoia. @nlerner and @merziac have their worlds collide! There's one for sale in Portland at the moment. The color is actually really nice, and it's done about as nice as a welded steel frame can be. The fork actually blends into the tapered head tube. What an idea!

Wish it wasn't SRAM. Or 1x. That's just me being a 2x/3x Shimano/Campy/Sugino guy though...
This ones been for sale for awhile, not a bad deal IMO.

I looked at these when they were new, with an almost $4k ? price tag, I couldn't even remotely get there but of course now wish I had. They have Jim"s original HB which is cool af to me.

Our good Mr. Harris had his new DiNucci painted a very similar color which is brilliant whether on purpose or not.
