just look around for any 2012 bikes going at sale prices at places such as wheelbase or leisure lakes. not sure about shops down your way
Re: Merlin Malt R Road Bike
Merlin's own brand MTB frames are made for them by Kinesis. If they've carried that relationship across to the road bikes, there won't be anything much wrong with it.
Re: Merlin Malt R Road Bike
My Malt 4 MTB has lasted very well indeed and the spec for the money was quite outstanding; Merlin are also really nice people to do business with. The Malt 4 frame is unashamedly Kinesis as already mentioned and is very 'sorted' but the paint job is not that tough. I would certainly go back to them if I were looking for that n+1 bike.
Re: Merlin Malt R Road Bike
I'll second their customer service, they are a great bunch of lads and that convinced me to buy a Malt 2 from them. When my old road bike finally pegs it, I'll probably go to them for a replacement.
