Merlin malt 2 frame medium 16/17 inch frame rare colour very light weight Not terrible condition, showing signs of use and age, the finish has scratched off in places, along the top tube and down tube. No damage, no dents, full working order.

2011 Merlin Cycles Malt 4 aliuminium mtb frame. This is the range topping model, so it is made by Kinesis using their best Kinesium alloy, which is modified 6000 series tubing, it’s 25 percent stronger than 6061 tubing for the same weight. It measures 17″ from centre of bb to top of seat tube and is 22″ long from centre of seat tube to centre of head tube. Weight is a scant 3.75 lbs. It is designed for 100mm travel forks with a straight 1&1/8 steerer. For 26 wheels with a standard 135mm quick release drop outs. Plenty of marks from use, the usual cable rub, stone chips etc.. Also some paint bubbling in places, but no cracks or dents. Taken from bike radar review. Kinesis have used hydroforming to mould each tube into a structure that’s stiff and strong where it needs to be and pared down to a safe minimum where possible. A collection of elegant flares and flowing bulges mark out the Malt 4′s shape-shifting main tubes, shaving material from non-critical areas and putting more back to add strength at points where safety is more critical, in a way that’s frankly beautiful.
