Serial # info on 11 Yo Merlin
Hello All.
I am trying to find the best place to look in hopes of gathering, original, build info on a 1999 Merlin road frame, because I am not sure if it utilized custom or stock geometry. Does anybody happen to know the best place to search for "classic" Merlin info based on the bike's serial # (this frame is badged as a Rob V design and not a Tom K if this matters).
Thank you very much for helping out

First, I would like to say thank you to everyone for their input/help regarding my Merlin information search. I have recently tracked down my former teammate whose father was the original owner of the frame. As far as he can remember that the frame utilizes stock geometry and was built in 1999. Now I just need to find some Rob V original decals so that I may have the frame set out for polishing
