For over three decades, custom titanium frames have been the benchmark of cycling excellence, blending precision engineering with timeless craftsmanship. This meticulous build process ensures that the end product is a frame that is light, compliant, and torsionally rigid, crafted to exacting specifications. “Singular Builds” frames are designed and built to be ridden for a lifetime.
This hand-built 1992 Merlin Titanium CX cross bike embodies that legacy, combining fanatical attention to detail with a modern frame design and clean lines. I personally love the design of this sick-looking bike. It was originally acquired as my ultimate cross machine—its durable, low-maintenance design and high-quality components were meant to provide a lifetime of exceptional rides.
This one is simply too big for me and it deserves to be ridden more often. It’s a superbike that’s solid as a rock, with everything functioning perfectly and wheels that are straight and true, having never needed adjustments. You will be thrilled to own this vintage gem, ready for a rider who will fully appreciate its advanced design and historical value.
