Show those Meridas

[Dazshell]

This has been my ride for two and a half years now.  Love her to bits!  I keep threatening to upgrade but I prefer white bikes and all the new bikes are black.  Plus with DA components including new DA 9000 brakes, I don't think I can do much better for twice the price.

 

Ps.  This is an old pic and the handlebars have been adjusted!

I found this photo of (one of) my Merida bikes... how could I forget.

I love the creative means people use to support the bikes for pics...maybe that would be a project for me next year...come up with a simple in expensive way to secure the bike for pics while out riding.

Should also post that in the black bikes thread.

You sure have a serious grip, those poor ESI's look like they have been strangled!

Isn't it just ESI Gripgits?

Your bottle cage, is that the BBB side loader? Can it adjust up and down a fair amount when mounting?

 

Reason i am asking is my AM has a very cramped geometry and most bottle cages do not have space to move further down toward the shock so the water bottle doesn't touch the top tube.

It's ironic that all my bikes, excl. the Ritchey Logic have Spez bottle cages on.

Anyway, below is a pic of the side mounted one on my DS. I must say that I am impressed with it, having never dropped a bottle.

Does it fit non spez bottles well?

 

My issue is that most cages i have tried do not have enought up and down space on the mounting area to get the cage a bit more lower, closer the vertical shock so the bottle does not squash up on the top tube.

 

Had an old giant sideway cage that was perfect but it broke and cant find them anymore.

 

Its a pricey exercise for me to find the right one but will give that spez one a go.
