[RBW] Re: FS: Merlin Solis 56.5 w/Dura-Ace
Yes it is outside the norm for here and indeed it is less than a Roadeo. It's a super riding bike too. So an ad here for a bike with some ti and that small bit of carbon? Yes. However the riding position on the bike is very much in line with Riv fit and philosophy. The Brooks B-17 was removed as that's on the new bike, however as noted by another, it has a wonderful 46 wide Noodle bar on it. As Grant has said, geometry trumps frame material every time. Hoping it finds a new home and gets ridden LOTS. On Apr 7, 6:34 pm, andrew hill neurod...@gmail.com wrote: Really? Listing a bike with carbon in the frame on this particular email list?

at that price you could part it out on ebay and you'd have the frameset for free.
