Merlin Extralight> Holy shit, so the ghisallo was a bit on the wobbly side? I heard that in later editions they changed the tube profiles to compensate for that. I'm not a massive gear stomper, I can barely push the big ones as it is!
Thanks for the heads up on the merlin extra light, I'll keep a lookout. Just had a dream of building up a superlight Ti bike.

Because a mate of mine, who is a super-skinny climber, bought one from new and it even scared him on descents it was so flexy, he got rid of it within 2 months. I tried it once and at my less than featherweight 72kg (then) it was terrifying.
If you have a ti addiction, could I suggest a Merlin Extralight, it is less likely to maim you.
