« on: May 05, 2009, 09:05 PM »

OK - ill see what he says.  I thought someone may have a list of frame numbers or something...it also looks like there may be a Pro Class rub-on on the down tube - not that that proves much but it helps...!

usually those serials that start with M means Merida made ie taiwan
and they didn't make the pro classes

also as said already the rear stays are too skinny
and they sit high on the seat tube by the top tube

Im guessing not, as  up there  ^^^ ask him how many holes in the break bridge & where is the serial # on the frame.

Im also guessing hes read it off the Pro class power disk ;)

hear  is  a  couple of  pictures  of the  chain stays they are as thick as the crank arms




and the  serial number  should be stamped  hear



and  if  i am  right  the  bottom bracket  should be machined out for the bearing cups  . mines is

:daumenhoch:         and  :smitten: nice pro class  :4_17_5:

and look at the serial number shown above and compare to ebay auction
No M so its a good ole US of A made frame
and stamped into the C section not on the bot brkt shell

that auction is a cali or a expert
