Anyone have January 1994 Mountain Bike Action?

If anyone has the January 1994 issue of Mountain Bike Action Magazine, I'm either looking to purchase it, or else I'd like to request some scans. Specifically, I'm looking for information on the Merlin full-suspension prototype featured on the cover.



The Merlin is the one above the bar code, bottom right.

Thanks!

If not me, then who?

From the the article "Full-Tilt Boogie at the Vegas Bike Show".
Unfortunately, the article was essentially a photo collage with short descriptions and this is all they had about the Merlin prototype.
I didn't crop the second bike on this page because of your interest in titanium.

Haha, yes, who indeed!

Looks like I'm just going to have to try to contact one of Merlin's designers from that period if I want any more substantial information on that bike...

Also if anyone is interested in that Trimble machine, Mike Augspurger talked a bit about it in my interview with him, posted on my website. Cheers!
