Wow.... Just wow... How i'd love to rip something like these on the dirt/gravel roads i use my MTB for...

I definitely do this...I pretty much treat it like a hardtail...

Thanks...I wasn't sure it I'd like it for racing but it's been great and the KEdge derailleur lets me run that 11-36 cassette.

2007 Litespeed Ardennes.

Upgraded wheels and drive train. Wheels Mavic Ksyriums, Campy Record brifters, RD, brakes, chorus compact crank. Got a cool set of carbon handlebars, very comfortable. I just love this bike!

Lots of love for the Cooper here, and Lynskey in general.

Nice bike! Thanks for sharing it.

I will post some new images of my Merlin again here. I did on page 4 of this thread back in 2005 I think. I am living in Prague and I have to say that for riding in the city on cobbles and across tram tracks, it is a superior bike! I love it when I come up on some one on a new CF bike and they look at the Merlin with Record and sort of stop and stare with this, "what is that?" expression on their face!

I'm thinking of selling my road frame and picking one of these this spring. I'm a sucker for the triple triangles

Funny. I just read about that frame earlier tonight too. I dig the tapered head tube. Too bad they dont offer this in a CX disc version. I used to be a big GT fan in my MTB days. I wonder who makes it for GT?

where can you get that GT ti frame?

This is a decent article on the GT Edge II Ti frame:

Apparently, they worked with engineers at Cannondale and the geometry on the GT is similar to that on a Caad10. Interesting...

I dig the Colnago! I like seeing Ti frames from the not so usual names.

Some progress... BB installed:

Ordered from a Russian company called Triton. There is a 30 page topic on mtbr. Much cheaper than eu, us frame builders. I am still waiting for the frame so I cant comment about quality. But the other guys in mtbr seem to love their frames. I will shortly review when I build up. Also there is a custom ti road frame built for a big guy, which you might like more.

I'm intrigued. Keep us posted. My next bike will be a CX.

1999 Merlin Ti standard. One of the last frames to come out of their MA shop.

Yep, I ride one every day here in Prague.
