I did miss a Pink Merz road bike frame set a few years ago just by hours , literally I had pm’ed Jim and he said a guy had just sent him the money ...GRrrrr ! The good news is I know where it is and will be asking the buyer about “that pink merz” he bought to build up for his wife .
Tx, funny thing about the MTB, front tweaked, way too small, rides just fine, amazing. Never seen one in person or for sale so nothing else matters, I have one now.

Jim seems to be the go to for his bikes, you have to act fast and hope you can get one before he goes through it before the $$$ go way up. You saw the recent white one is for sale, but $2200? That being said, I will gladly go for one in my size if he offers one up, would be fantastic to have one he went through as well.

I think he hangs onto all the ones in his size, which is my size so....

I know he has quite a few.
