My beloved Merlin Extralight

Just joined the forums but have been using Alex's videos to help maintain my bikes. Here is one of my 7 bikes (atm). This is my sunny weekend bike when I know the roads are going to be "not the worst."

Nice bike, welcome to the list.

Where are you??

Im in the East Bay (San Francisco). I ride my commuter bike (the one that gets the most from Alex's videos) to work each day (44 miles round trip).

Did You ever weigh it???
Merlin does not give specs.

16.7 in the shop before that super small seat bag, Ti skewers and cages and that San Marco saddle. Its an older Extralight frame when Kellogg was doing them himself, still in excellent shape (gotta love Ti) and I kitted it up myself. You cant see the welds, but they are to die for beautiful.
