About this product
This is a vintage Merlin Titanium Road Bike frame and fork set, sized at 59cm, suitable for unisex adults. Constructed from 3AL-2.5V titanium tubes, it offers a lightweight and durable foundation for a road or gravel bike build. The set is designed for 700C wheels and features a square taper bottom bracket. Its gray color and robust titanium material make it an appealing option for enthusiasts looking to build a custom vintage-style racing or gravel grinder bicycle.
Our take
As someone who appreciates classic cycling, this vintage Merlin frame and fork set immediately catches my eye. The 3AL-2.5V titanium construction is legendary for its ride quality and longevity, making it an excellent base for a custom build. The 59cm size is ideal for taller riders, and the inclusion of a carbon fiber fork adds a touch of modern performance to a vintage design. The square taper bottom bracket is a bit dated, so you'll need to source compatible components, but that's part of the charm of a vintage project. At $690, it's a solid deal for a piece of cycling history.
