I believe the Aglis was the straight gauge compact replacement for the standard Merlin Road. The Extralight has butted tubing and more welded on embellishments, like the seat binder.

Managed to take the merlin out for a short & quick spin yesterday before it turned dark and the rain /cold front hit us.
Smooth as glass. Good power transfer Great climber Looking forward to riding it more.

Agilis was straight ga tubing and compact geometry. Standard road was traditional geometry, same tubeset. The extralight was butted tubes, and the magia was the compact geometry version. The Agilis had some engraving options that were pretty cool at the time.

Wow, if I ever make it out your way I'll have to check out your bike shop. Besides all those bikes in your inventory are you going to do servicing also?

hit a bit of snag with the R3 build. the hangar just snapped off. the price of making everything super lightweight.

Better to snap it off in the stand than out on the road.
It was probably due to the pressure from clamping on the frame tube... that pressure build up has to go somewhere, like squeezing a balloon, and it just burst out through the hanger screws. |

Two things...
I kept looking at the pieces of paper taped to the wall...and it just dawned on me- protecting paint from wheel rub!
But I have to confess. I was really looking for that sweet Merlin cross you bought a couple years ago. Don't see it. You didn't sell it to make room for the new bikes did ya? |

Congrats on grabbing that Merlin Wei. It seemed like a very reasonable deal for a really nice riding bike!

R3 pal, can I ask a big favor?
If you ever see any of these XT rear der. for sale anywhere, would you please let me know? 'coz I am in serious hoarding mode on these, they are my all-time favorite, used them on all the bikes from 9 to 10 to 11 speed, from 11 to even 40 t cassette in the back with great success! Thank you.
