Beautiful bike. Is the badge original with the '93? I just picked a '92 and it has the sticker badge.

Thanks, I got the badge from the Dutch Merlin distributor back in 2007 when I got the frame. The frame was bought in 1993 by pro rider Steven Rooks who had it camouflaged as a team Festina Rossin bike then as a team TVM Gazelle so when I got it the frame was stripped of its sponsor paint and came without badge.

Can't say I'm a fan of those scott drop-ins but everything else is perfect!

The colour is excellent. I don't think I will paint any of my Merlin frames this colour as they still have their original details - but I might do so on my Vincent Motorcycle which I am building.
