Merlin, 2009 ~

"Merlin, the absolute standard in titanium bikes."

21 years ago Merlin built the first contemporary titanium road and mountain bikesDropout.jpg (15430 bytes) and revolutionized the sport. An unsurpassed strength-to-weight ratio and toughness along with superb physical properties at lower weights give titanium the unique ability to absorb road shock while retaining excellent torsional stiffness to resist pedaling loads. Add titanium's phenomenally high fatigue strength plus the fact that it doesn't rust or corrode, and there is simply no better frame material choice.

Ultimately, titanium's biggest benefit is that it enables you to have more fun and get more enjoyment out of your bike and your riding experience. And, with greater dependability and durability than any other frame material. For many of us, that what it's all about.

For a custom fit personally selected by Kyle send these measurements along with your order: Measure  There is no extra charge for this essential service!

Headsets are not included. Merlin frames accept all 1 1/8" threadless, non-integrated (non-hidden) headsets. Any headset purchased with a Merlin frameset will be machined and installed with no labor charge. Headsets

Camena ~   For the ladies!

Specifically designed for female riders, the Camena is revolutionary in its concept. After fitting thousands of female riders, both Merlin and Cycles BiKyle have come to the realization that many of the preconceptions about women's builds and resulting bicycle design have been downright wrong. If you are a woman struggling with bicycle fit or comfort, the Camena may be the perfect animal. Combined with Kyle's legendary expertise for perfect fit, the Camena positions your body for the most efficient and comfortable ride ever! Includes Reynolds Ouzo Pro full carbon fork with corrected rake for proper trail.

The cockpit space is specially designed for a woman's build. And since women carry more of their power and weight in their hips, the Camena has longer chainstays for a more balanced center of gravity. The result: a more secure, comfortable, and responsive ride!
