Late 90's 59cm Merlin Extralight. Includes silver Chris King headset that was purchased new this year. Also includes Columbus Muscle all carbon fork with carbon steerer. 1” steerer. Fork has approx. 500 miles.
(This raked fork has a carbon unibody (fully carbon) and is designed for long distances for professionals. Lightness and comfort are the main characteristics of this fork. The use of the special titanium mesh layer together with the particular profiling of the fork blade facilitates the absorption of high frequency vibrations such as those induced by irregular terrain and braking. High Modulus carbon fibre has also been used for the 'skin' of Muscle, and this adds extra stability and strength. So overall, comfort, adhesion and better control. 1" or 1 1/8" 380 grams)
Also included 130mm x 17 degree Forte stem, new unused headtube metal badge not attached yet, new frame decals with installation instructions, a very large window decal and a System 1 Trek seatpost with micro head adjustment.
Bike frame is incredible. You will not be disappointed.
MTS325 Size-specific Seamless Tubing
By any measure, the Merlin Extralight has no peer. Built with MTS325 size-specific seamless tubing, the Extralight rides with an exhilarating blend of comfort, speed, and sure-footed security. Frame weights start at an amazing 2.4 pounds. Yet the Extralight's exclusive double-butted titanium tubing has greater fatigue strength-to-weight--both before and after welding--than any other frame material, to guarantee a lifetime of durable performance. The Extralight's comprehensive list of features is almost overwhelming. Highlights include the oversize, laterally rigid 7/8-inch double-butted chainstays, individually selected custom-sized MTS325 tubing for each frame size, and Merlin 6-4 titanium dropouts with vertical slots for instantaneous wheel changes, all set into pure racing geometry designed by Tom Kellogg. Additional details include a precision-reamed super-durable extended seat collar; our exclusive lightweight internally relieved bottom bracket shell that is machined, faced and threaded after welding to guarantee perfect alignment and concentricity, and Merlin's welded tubular three-piece brake bridge with a machined center boss to eliminate brake chatter at any speed.
