My 96 600....all grown up! 

 

Only original parts left are the frame, shocks, hubs and spokes! :P

 

It now has the full M8000 XT 1x11 groupset (34T/11-42), RT81 180mm ice-tech rotors front and back, Rapide saddle, Merida Carbon 400mm seat post, Ryder "erection-like" 35 degree 100mm stem, Rapide H Rise R 780mm bars and Rapide TR29-25mm rims.

 

Looks a bit weird but they unfortunately do not make an XXL frame so I had to make do with what I could find to sort out the comfort side of things. The XT groupset and wider rims transformed the ride feel immensely :D

My Merida Reacto 400. A week old waiting patiently for exams to end to be ridden again.

My first road after a year of thinking if it was the correct change from my MTB seems to have been a good decision so far.

I am looking at the 2020 Big.Nine Lite AL. Is the new Meridas worth buying?

 

The reason I chose that one and not the XT or SLX models, the Lite has a boost frame and the others not, I can always upgrade the parts. Does your bike have a Manitou fork?

 

I had a Merida a couple of years back, really enjoyed that bike, can't remember the model, was black and green.

Hi. The NX is a boost frame, and came in 1*12 form. I like the NX 1*12 and have not had any problems with it. The bike has the Manitou fork which works as well as anything else I have ridden. I have ridden Giant bikes in the past and the Merida is just as good as those. Thus I have no problem recommending them to others. Hope that helps.
