Looks like a 59-62cm frame with very aggressive riding position.. and steep headtube angle.. even the nose of the saddle is tilted downward.. hands/arms/shoulders/neck would fatigue easily.. but looks like it suits well for short crits with tight turns.

Classic Merlin set up as a single chainring(44t) 10speed rain bike w/King HS, Ritchey bar/stem, original Ksyrium SSCs, FSA crankset w/Salsa guard, Record rear w/one Record brifter and one Record brake lever, Miche post, Tektro carbon brakes, custom SKS fender job, WTB Devo saddle. One of my favorite rides. So smooth I pray for rain!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...s/IMG_0439.jpg NOS Torelli frameset- will probably be built with either Chorus or Centaur and sold http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...s/IMG_0522.jpg Colnago Titanio- lots of miles and still rides great. For sale soon. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...s/IMG_0527.jpg Also have a Colnago CT1, no pic available. |
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.

Just won this on the 'bay. Probably a little too much for what it is (Litespeed built I'm sure) but the decals are badass, it's in good shape, and it's my size.
http://i11.ebayimg.com/08/i/000/bc/8e/6135_1.JPG I just quit my job, so it's gonna be a good while before it's built up. current plan: Wound Up 1 inch threadless fork w/King headset (steal headset from fixed gear frame I'm selling) Salsa stem (parts bin) Nitto tradtional bend bars Cane Creek levers (parts bin) Ultegra brakes (parts bin) Thomson Post (may already have if it's 27.2) Ultegra 9 - (maybe with downtube shifters) Shimano 600 cranks (parts bin) Flite TT saddle (steal from bike I'm selling) Open Pros or Velocity Aeroheads laced to White Industries hubs by yours truly - 32 front 36 rear, 3x That frame is indeed built by Litespeed. It was built in the Lynksey family days though and is a good quality frame. I happen to have that exact frame - the AX - I have many miles on it and like it just fine. That said, I am tempted to sell it as I feel I am too heavy for it, it would be a fine climber with someone lighter than me on it I think. It will make a nice bike, enjoy it. |

It is not a noodle.
It is also not my MX Leader. Mine is a 55, SRAM Rival, Regal saddle, 130 mm 3TTT quill stem and steel fork. wheels are Ambrosio rims, laced to Chorus hubs, 32 and 3X. The bike is exactly 20 pounds with Look pedals. |

The shifting is very quick and precise. I should note that although the rear derailleurs and shifters are SRAM, the crankset is Campy Chorus and the cassette is a Campy 10. Shifting is flawless. |
