The saddle is awesome and im so far beyond caring about the weight and size at this point.. The frame is made by merlin with merlin Ti for Tom at Spectrum. I believe its the same geometry as the extralight. The frame joints are simply beautiful, no beads or anything.. really nice..








Thanks, I really love it. Im kind of new to this with around 4000 miles but Im finally getting how people can really get into their bikes.. it can become a little obsessive

ill post it (edit it) tonight when I get home..

they are actually some deadhead stickers depicting sunrise to sunset with the dancing bear traveling across the different times of day. Im a dead head of sorts, the type that works out and showers often though.. I put them on to cover up the name of the previous owner which Tom had stenciled in. To the left of the dead stickers is Tom's signature.. Eventually ill send it back to Tom to have it repainted but its pretty clean right now..
