I am posting this ad for a friend who lives in Monterey, CA. He is the second owner of this bicycle, but rode it very little. I took the pics and gathered the info about the bicycle, as he is not a bike geek like some of us.:) Apart from some dust and the "comfort" saddle that is current installed, the bicycle is ready to rode. The seller is not firm on the price, so make hime an offer.
If interested, PM/email me and I'll send you his phone number. Local Northern California pickup only.
This 18.75" 2001/2002 Merlin Titanium XLM mountain bicycle is in excellent condition. The decals show some scuffs due to storage; however, there are no dents or dings in the frame and the SID Race fork is like new.
This outstanding MTB is build up with Shimano XTR 9 speed components with a Profile Design Alpine Pro crankset. The wheelset is custom built with Bontrager ASYM ceramic rims, Chris King Classic hubs and titanium spokes. Cables are new.
