Here's my trusty Merlin. About 23000 miles on it in the last five years. Very short Syntace F99 stem and mucho spacers are due to a hip problem - cured by Boulder Center for Sports Medicine with a great fit. Weighs in at under 16 lbs which is not bad for a 61 cm frame. Bold Precision Ti seatpost and King Ti bottle cage. Speedplay Ti pedals. Topolino wheels (which have never had to be trued). Campy Record UT CT drive train and a Look HSC 5 SL fork. Serfas Monaco saddle (not made any more - only one unused one left in a buy of four - anybody sees NOS for sale let me know). Rides like a dream.
