I'm sorry for how the story ended with your Merlin @yeahdext. Talking about the times when the TIG Team SL was released - was this frameset within the level of high end bikes or somewhere closer to the middle range?
I did, well my parents did. Many a pot were washed at my local to pay them back! I actually really wanted a Rock Lobster TIG Team SL ;)
Must have been 2003, this was the last Malt 3 that Merlin sold - is it obvious it had Easton tubing?? It replaced an ex-Team issue Saracen Kili Flyer which had a custom Silver to Blue (siiiiick) fade paint job by Argos . It was magnesium and cracked on a weld. Urgh. The only bike i've ever broken! Lucky the orange kit went with this too - Fox will claim they started the orange trend......
Alas i lent it to my brother when he went off to uni in 2010 and it was 'stolen' (Or sold for weed) and never to be seen again :(
