Did Merlin actually build any 2011 bikes? Real Cyclist has a bunch (26) of Merlin XLM 25th anniversary MTB frames and the geometry chart shows 2011 as the year.

I *think* ABG had the right to build Merlin frames through 2011, but Brendan would have to confirm that. Fwiw, its obvious (to me) that those frames were built in the TN factory.
