This Merida was my third race bike, following a scultura 904 with 105. it was a fantastic bike, taking me on many race over about 5 years, eventually surcoming to a frame crack this was specced with 10 speed ultegra that made its way onto my avanti blizzard touring bike. and its frame still hung up in the garage.\

I brought this of a bike mechanic for $750 nzd in 2014, a good deal for a 4 year old carbon bike at the time, especailly as it came with upgraded Ritchey canbon stem and White FSA K-force lite carbon bars.

Had FSA Carbon cranks for a while too untill the glue separated, eventually replaced with Ultegra cranks…the ones in the recall…the ones i still use on my touring bike (i really should takle them in to be checked).

more to come…
