As predicted the Merida project is a slow burner, but I've got a few more bits together for a not very exciting update. Pleased to find some steel, 1 1/8th, disc forks of the right length and with straight legs from the local bike charity that'll have a few more bosses and dyno routing brazed on. I'm thinking of just getting the frame and fork blasted to get a decent starting point and then rattle can again, to save ~£100 of powder coating.
Also stripped the front rim and ordered the cheapest Shimano dyno disc hub and some spokes along with a spindle spacer rebuild kit for the Race Face cranks. Filed down some chainring bolts to fit the 1x ring too. The last few bits to source include a 22.2 BMX stem (ideally black and top load if anyone has one?), a thumb shifter (probably a Sunrace M96), a chain and some tins of paint.
