I sold my Merlin on ebay. I shipped it to one of those places where you go ‘that place exists?’ Kalamazoo, MI is in fact a real place, smack dab in the middle of the LP.

If I wasn’t riding a posh, racing, titanium, hardtail mountain bike, it makes sense to replace it with a single speed, rigid, steel ‘blue collar’ bike?

losing suspension and gears, the bike wieghs about the same (23 pounds)

This whole thing is an experiment, on a truck, for delivery. I’m planning on unboxing and heading out to Tolt Macdonald
