I like these Merida bikes. I have the 850 hardtail. Colours are great but decals are OTT. The important thing is the handling and they can handle anything!!
10/10

Nice bike. You'll be amazed how much better if feels when you get your new fork on. The Darts really suck!

Lovely bike- however the pivot seems a little large for the size of the bike- not really something that can be upgraded so it doesn't stop the bike from getting a 10 in my eyes.
What are the brakes on it?
PS. Thanks for the rating- could you rate my XC bike. i'd be interested to hear what you think of it.

GreenGarmin said on 15 May 2008
Very clean beast, but I must concur with peoples view on the reflectors and fork. Both look like they need an upgrade. At least one is an easy fix! :)
grazo22 replied... on 4 August 2008
check out the new photo
grazo22 replied... on 16 May 2008
Reflector taken off and 140mm Marzocchi's coming in the next few weeks. New pedals have been added since this.

I like the look of that frame. Looks like it's one to be upgraded over time. Just get those reflectors inthe bin asap.
grazo22 replied... on 4 August 2008
rockshox revalations
am i crazy
grazo22 replied... on 29 March 2008
I think the reflectors have fallen off actually. I am planning to get new pedals as they are soooo slippery in the rain, new saddle and some Rockshox revelations. Skint atm though :-)

grazo22 said on 26 March 2008
What an amazing bike. Shit forks, concrete saddle and poop plastic pedals. They are nice and slippy in the rain! Sexy frame and a crazy will for no friction free wheeling
grazo22 replied... on 4 May 2008
Just got some white dmr v8's. Getting Hope 50mm 25deg stem and TiTec El Norte bars. eventually may get a white and clear coat respray.
