Just saw this, a 16" Rock Lobster Team Tig SL with a Merlin chainstay protector, only £50.
Didn't know Merlin owned Rock Lobster.

Interesting bike frame on Ebay, a Merlin Rock Lobster

Merlin Cycles (the shop, not the Ti lot) sell licensed versions of frames designed by this guy.
His custom frames are lovely - someday I'm going to get him to build a modern version (i.e. 1+1/8th headtube) of a Bontrager Race....

I know that Merlin sell Rock Lobster, I was amused at the listing saying it was a Merlin bike is all and thought I would share.

Ah, gotcha - sorry, can't access ebay from this computer!
Merlin is one of 'those' names - it will always make me think of lovely old titanium...

Interesting fact is that the seller recently got negative feedback for backing out of a deal after the auction ended on a complete bike which appears to have exactly the same frame.
Here's the whole bike listing http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170718626578Posted 4 months ago # -
@No Teeth, Nice, there's a Merlin XLM Titanium on ebay at the moment, though it's a bit newer at a 2003 model.
That is strange that he did that 6 months ago, and is selling it again. If £430 wasn't enough for the bike, he might not be happy with £50 for the frame.
Either way, probably best avoided then.
