I like mine, got it for much cheaper otherwise I wouldn't have bought it, but it's actually confortable given the low weight.

My beloved trio (ok Merlins are repost but not these current versions;)

I use deda piega handlebars, they're cheap and certainly better than old curvy 80's bars. Some exemples here , here and here :)
I tried rose bike compact 26mm bars as well but found them heavy. Bontrager used to make the ssr vrc which was ok as well

That deda zero 100 stem looks great with titanium seatpost, that's actually what I'm planning to use on my current project.

Also my last build is full shiny silver to match the DA 7800 groupset. I tried an UNO stem from Ali but it is rather shitty so I will certainly go for the ritchey classic stem along with the matching headset.

I like BMC's, but this looks quite fragile for a CX frame

You say that because of the thin seat stays? It's a matter of perspective cause they are actually quite flat and thick so the frame does feel really solid :) And yeah the rack moves a bit up and down compared to a bolted one but it holds up pretty well

I just finished this one, 20 years old frame but rides like a charm :)

I'm not going to use this nice wr compositi stem, any idea how much it's worth? Thanks!

No that's a limitation, with the bar-ends I can use the brakes but not the shifters. But it still is a nice (and cheap) upgrade, especially when climbing or just resting the ends

My dadbike, the only downside is I only can't go higher than 700x28 tires, otherwise it's a really nice ride

Good to know but I bought this one a year ago when they were doing 50% on all forks :) I'll keep that in mind when I'll change it in 2040!

Just finished building this one to complete the less period correct Extralight

It is :)

Formule 1?

My new current project: Merlin Titanium

Any price idea for a 1998 campagnolo electron wheelset in used but good condition?

Nice bike but this is an AX not EX (horizontal dropouts, external rear brake cable routing)

My Merlin, with a new stem and seatpost combo. I think the s-works sl stem fits the wound-up much better than the previous one here
I still need to find a nice set of bottle cages though :)

Thanks! Glad you like it ;)

And here it is :)
Campagnolo record titanium 10s groupset except the chorus crankset and proton wheels.

Thanks! Indeed it's nice to have a bit of background on it :)
Now I just have to finish the build and (hopefully) enjoy it

So after playing for a while with the flashlight I have "2354" and what looks like a C or a G!

The bb is perfectly silent though...

Here is a pic!

Ok thanks! So it's called a "titane" but actually an AX with a paintjob from Merckx in Belgium ? I have looked under the bb shell and found nothing, no serial number or markings... Maybe the paint covers it up but it doesn't look that thick to me. I know it's a genuine Merckx (well...litespeed) because of the stamped dropouts but is this common on Merckx frames not to find any markings?

Maybe some Merckx expert can help me identifying this one I'm currently building. I think it i's an AX because of the vertical dropouts and external brake cable routing but it also has features such as the cable guides on the headtube and the plate holder that I haven't seen on other AX, as well as the Gan paintjob, so I'm a but puzzled :)

I wish it was but no it's a tig welded steel stem
