Since 1986, Merlin Metalworks has been striving to elevate the art of bicycle frame design, setting an industry benchmark for high tech materials and craftsmanship. With Tom Kellogg's creative eye for both form and function, Merlin has become the standard against which other titanium bicycles are measured. Merlin's MTS tubing (Merlin Tube Specification) is custom drawn to stringent tolerances that exceed aerospace requirements for precision and uniformity. Merlin frame builders have mastered the difficult process of working with titanium, taking exceptional pride in the artistic beauty of the signature Merlin weld, a process that has been refined for nearly 20 years and has become an industry hallmark of craftsmanship. And, every Merlin frame is hand polished to create a luxurious finish, another feature that is unmatched in the industry. When you purchase a Merlin bicycle, you will own a performance bike that is feather light, impervious to rust and corrosion, and widely regarded as the strongest and most beautiful in the cycling industry.

MERLIN Extralight.
Extralight is remarkably stiff and light thanks to an all-new MTS butted 3/2.5 oversized titanium tube set. Shaping and cold working of the oversized tube results in an increase of up to 45% in the material's strength, enhancing bottom bracket stiffness while maintaining a resilient ride. Signature hourglass shaped seat stays, coupled with massive, double-butted and tapered 1" chain stays, provide a smooth ride, rocket-like acceleration and superb climbing ability. The Extralight's elegantly engraved head tube, first-class finish and meticulous welds attest to Merlin's commitment to frame quality and esthetics. The super light Easton EC-90 SLX fork, featuring High-Modulus carbon construction with a carbon steerer tube, delivers nimble handling and reduces road vibration.

Frame: Custom double-butted 3/2.5 oversized titanium in size specific tubing. Features: Engraved head badge. Dual bottle mounts. Made in the USA. Fork: Easton EC-90 SLX High Modulus carbon with carbon steerer. 1-1/8". Sizes: 49, 51, 53, 55, 57, 59, 61cm (center to top). Frame Weight: 2.75 lbs. (55cm)

MERLIN Works CR.
In designing and building this frame, Merlin sought to maximize the ride quality of titanium. Shaping and cold working Merlin's MTS2 size-specific titanium tubes yields an increase of up to 45% in the materials strength, enhancing bottom bracket stiffness and optimizing Tom Kellogg's refined, race-tuned, semi-sloping geometry. Works CR has a torsionally rigid front end to ensure precise handling and stout, 1" chain stays to provide a stunningly efficient transfer of energy. Easton's remarkably light EC-90 SLX carbon fork is perfectly matched to Merlin's high performance frame. Featuring advanced High-Modulus carbon construction and a carbon steerer tube, EC-90 SLX delivers front-end stability, nimble handling and vibration-dampening comfort.
