I have a few bikes too many and am therefore selling my commuter rocket, a mint Merida Scultura Endurance 5000 in size M with ~500km mileage, bought at the end of 2023 and built up over the winter. It definitely makes you the fastest on the way to town. Also perfect as a winter bike.
Standard condition (new price € 2,899):
- Carbon frame in size M / 56, black, suitable for 170-183cm (I'm 183cm with 86cm stride, that's the maximum)
- Shimano Ultegra 2x11 R8000 rear derailleur (there are small scratches on the left STI from leaning against it)
- Semi-integrated cockpit for easier maintenance
- All details: https://www.merida-bikes.com/fi-fi/bike/3110-4106/scultura-endurance-5000
I installed the following upgrades from stock to build my sub-9kg commuter rocket:
- Farsports Kaze 45mm carbon wheels with Bitex 312 hubs (720€)
- Tubeless setup on Panaracer Gravelking Semi Slick + 35mm, Muc Off valves (115€)
- Rotor Vegast crank 50/34 with 170mm crank arm (184€)
- Shimano Ultegra 11-34 cassette (50€)
- Shimano Ultegra SM-RT800 brake rotors (100€)
- Xpedo Combi pedals (79€)
- SKS Bluemels mudguards with custom black powder-coated struts for the stealth look (60€)
- OG Evkin 400mm aero carbon handlebars (40€)
- Rockbros 1000 lumen headlight with Wahoo mount (50€)
- Rockbros Q5 rear light (20€)
- Syncros Savona 1.5 saddle (50€, there is a different one in the pictures)
- Cateye rear view mirror (20€)
Total of all upgrades 1.588€, total investment 4.487€. Invoices are available. As the bike is now, I would sell it for € 2,999. I can remove/rebuild parts if you want to optimize it yourself - we can talk about everything. I still have the standard RS510 crank. I can remove the reflectors on the wheels without leaving any residue if you wish.
