This is a rarely seen Merlin Cyclocross frame from the early 2000s. These were made in small quantities and only as custom orders.
I think it may have been an ex team bike .. Which might be why it has Litespeed decals as both companies had the same owner BITD (or maybe just because Merlin want $85 For new ones?! https://www.merlinbikes.com/shop/merlin-decal-325)
53cm toptube .. 52cm centre to top st. 13cm headtube
Very light, very sexy…. Excellent low-use condition, only very little scuffs. But the lower part of the down tube has a shallow dent.. on the LHS - perhaps from a badly fitting car roof carrier? It isn’t easy to spot, but it’s there. I have tried to make it look as obvious as possible on the images. It doesn’t look too bad, but if it bothers you, you might be able to pop it out with dry-ice or just fill and paint?
If you know your Ti, you’ll know Merlin is as good as it gets. Hand made the USA ..‘stack o’ dime’ welds etc.
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
