It's a tidy piece of work with a threaded bottom bracket that's unlikely to result in annoying creaks as time goes on. I emailed Merlin and a women emailed me back saying it was never sent due to the postage being more then the cost of the valve.

I ordered from many British firms before on line and had never to pay this hidden fee that they blame it on the US custom. As a subscriber you can read road.cc ad-free, from as little as £1.99. Shipped exactly what I ordered in a timely manner. Elsewhere, there’s the usual cost-cutting on a couple of the PR7’s components, notably the non-cartridge brake blocks and the Kenda tyres, but even these are in a 25mm width and both are very easily upgradable; you might want to think about going for the maximum 28mm tyre width when the tyres are worn. They're a semi-slick design with a low tread down the centre and chunkier shoulders. I have been shopping with Merlin cycles for years and never have had an issue…… until now. You can cut hard into corners and make quick line corrections in the rough stuff with ease. You have to pay to send the product back to them, which is likely cost prohibitive for many items. Merlin isn't the only brand that offers this freebie, but it's still surprising and welcome.

It did make for very small jumps between gears, better for competitive riders. The hardcore and highly skilled riders will enjoy that they can push this bike hard. When UPS delivered it, they asked for $72.57 fee that Merlin didn’t pay and I was asked to pay. I think Merlin’s is great. I have shopped with them over the years but would avoid from here on in due to this experience. The Malt-G is built up with Shimano's Tiagra groupset, which is unusual on bikes of this price. I emailed Merlin Cycles immediately and Gemma their returns coordinator advised to return the shoes along with a description of the defect and both the shoes and postage would be credited back on receipt of shoes. When I've fancied mixing it up with a bit of towpath, that's been cool too, the Malt-G having semi-slick tyres that provide sufficient grip and enough low gears to cope with more draggy surfaces. The tyres are okay but they're definitely a budget option. I'd be upgrading them if this was my bike. The Malt-G's brakes aren't from Shimano, they're cable-actuated Tektro Lyra callipers operating on 160mm rotors front and rear. Did the bike feel stiff in the right places? They might lack the performance of a hydraulic setup but this is a £649 bike. "The Merlin Malt-G Gravel bike features a double-butted 6061 Aluminium frame with a comfortable, confident geometry that encourages all-day riding, a carbon fork that stops the ride feeling too harsh when you're on the ruff-stuff and quality cable-activated disc brakes that deliver consistent, controllable braking in all weathers and riding conditions. Merlin Cycles have proven to be extremely difficult especially if you are relying on international postage, as Merlin Cycles cannot be trusted to be fair nor reasonable and their returns coordinator Gemma has proven to be incompetent with the simplest of customer service procedures, they will do anything but be helpful in trying to resolve a simple defective goods matter. I will not be purchasing from Merlin cycles any more. The fork has carbon fibre blades and steerer. You've been subscribed to our newsletter. You'd probably expect all of that of an all-rounder, but is the Malt-G really gravel-capable? The 10kg weight is perceptible when sprinting or climbing, but once you’re up to speed this romps along and it handles well, cornering and descending surefootedly, although better brake blocks would help with the latter. Steve also said pictures of items for sale were for ‘illustrative purposes’ and did not reflect what I could expect to arrive. The revenue from adverts helps to fund our site. Price for the bike shown here is $7,500 according to a Merlin representative. Personally, I found myself down on the drops a little more than usual here, searching for a little more efficiency, but that's not a bad thing at all. “The Merlin feels incredibly stiff and tugged at the wannabe racer in everyone who rode the bike.” The wheelbase on our size-56cm bike is 99.5cm with 41cm-long chainstays.
