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!

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?

This is a decent article on the GT Edge II Ti frame:
https://carytownbicyclecompany.com/20...um-first-ride/
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.

couple of photos from my ti-cx bike in production (yeah not road but everbody loves frame photos)
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.
