poo on that....but yeah they can get sicker, just stupid crazy things they messed around w/ for themselves to see if it would work or not. you should see the welder's (former merlin employee) ULTRA butted XLM. the thing makes no sense how light the frame is NO SENSE.

well they were bought out by the holding company that owns litespeed and moved all their equpiment from boston to tennessee. the guys who used to work at merlin as welders (among doing many other things such as mill work...) are now either at IF, Seven, and Serotta. the weld quality has gone down so has things like alignment and tube quality. the interbike the year after litespeed bought them out and moved them down they saved their show bikes from the year before and used em for that year. not only could they spot their own welds and what not but the serial #'s were the same :D

Well i wouldn't complain if i had a litespeed or a merlin:D
Almost for certian i can't go to Mt.Snow because the weekend before i'm doing a 200km race and than i would leave like a couple days later and i have exams all those days which sucks. Damn crappy Norba scheduling:devil: Anyways i'll be racing at Sea Otter next year thats for sure i hope:(

Hey indieboy,
Is there any good IF porn sites on the web somewhere? Or anywhere I can see all these sick IF's that go out? I know they're out there, but I just can't find them! :D

there isn't a collective site :( i've got pics of a few of some of their own personal bikes that they posted on the MTBR SS pic part, just have to kinda rumage through all of it. i'm sure if you do a google search or something, there's bound to be something that comes up. i'll look for some more in a minute :D

They don't make mountain bikes but these guys make works of art. I'd be afraid to scratch one.
