Took my @merlinbicycles #titanium for an autumn afterwork spin. Could also test the @rideterraone #T1 tires. ⁠ They are a blast!!! With 2.1bar at the rear and 2.0bar at the front, I found the sweet spot for me. Really very comfortable, both on road (not too noisy) as well as gravel where they absorb most of the vibrations (titanium frame surely also helps).⁠ Grip is good, with a predictive drift when leaning. Maybe I could reduce a little pressure at the front to get even more grip at the front. ⁠ Let’s be clear: it is more a gravel/rolling tire than an extreme MTB tire like you can find today. And this is exactly what I was looking for.⁠ And I love the sober look! Very classy. Really like the round shape and the look of the thread pattern.⁠ ⁠ Click link in the bio to learn more about it.⁠ ⁠ #ScottMatthauser, #Cantilever, @scottsports, #ScottSEPedersen, #Self-EnergizedBrake, @rockshox , #RS-1, @Gorilla , #brakebooster, @ritcheylogic, #ZMax, @campagnolosrl , #alphaxl, @shimanomtb , #HB-M730, #DeoreXT, #DeoreXTII, #FH-M732, #Merlin, @merlintitanium @merlin_bikes , #Titanium, #joemurray, #U-Brake, #SPD, #M737, #Force, #Steel, #Steelisreal, @SteelFightsBack, @selle_italia, #flite , #Sharkfin, #VintageMountainBike, @schickemuetze, @Stronglight_fr , #X12, #M730, #Biopace, #vintagemtbparts https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch_xHJ6Lt6O/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Took the @merlinbicycles #titanium from 1989 out for a true MTB ride this weekend. Unbelievable how modern the bike rides. #joemurray geometry on this bike (a prototype before serial launch of the later Kona titanium, before the #heihei). And the @rockshox #rs1 is working awesome, adding smoothness upfront to the overall compliance of the frame.

Took the Ti out… I am always shocked how well and fun this @merlinbicycles #titanium from 1989 rides! Geometry from #joemurray was spot on, already 32 years ago: fast, nimble, comfort, with the spring effect of Titanium ❤️ #ScottMatthauser, #Cantilever, @scottsports #ScottSE, #ScottSEPedersen, #Self-EnergizedBrake, @rockshox , #RS-1, @Gorilla , #brakebooster, @ritcheylogic, #ZMax, @campagnolosrl , #alphaxl, @shimanomtb , #HB-M730, #DeoreXT, #DeoreXTII, #FH-M732, #Merlin, @merlinbicycles @merlintitanium @merlin_bikes , #Titanium, #joemurray, #U-Brake, #SPD, #M737, #Force, #Steel, #Steelisreal, @SteelFightsBack, @selle_italia, #flite , #Sharkfin, #VintageMountainBike, @schickemuetze, @Stronglight_fr , #X12, #M730, #Biopace, #vintageMTBparts (à Düsseldorf, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChRQWSUoQiZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
