Merlin Malt G2 Gravel Bike – 2021 – Reliable Commuter & Tourer

Description

Selling my 2021 Merlin Malt G2 gravel bike, owned for 4 years and mainly used for commuting and touring. It’s been a dependable workhorse — mechanically excellent with plenty of recent upgrades.
The paint has scuffs and marks from panniers and touring bags, but this is purely cosmetic.
This will make a great commuter that you won't be worried about leaving locked up at a train station or the shops.

Cosmetic scuffs from rack and bag use.

Mechanically solid. Recently serviced with key components replaced.

Shimano Acera rear derailleur (upgrade from stock Claris for improved durability and shifting)

Shimano HG41 11–34T cassette – gives excellent hill-climbing capability

Brand-new rear wheel

New chain

New crank bearings
