I had never known about Merlin’s Cielo frame till about 2 weeks ago when this 51cm popped up in my local marketplace. It quickly became a “grail” frame for me and I picked it up. Now I’m overwhelmed with trying to build it out. I already have a DEAN Ti road bike! I also don’t have the physical or mind space to really take on building a bike right now.
Anyone been looking for this frame? If so hit me up, I’m really tempted to N-1 it.

That frame is like a Rolex watch.
You don’t need it for it’s function.

Hang it in the garage for a little bit, enjoy the blank canvas, think about what it could become, and let the build come later 🤷🏼♂️
Or pass it on to someone who is super super excited about it! That’s what I did with a ti grail frame (Kona Score) I once stumbled across… probably would have kept it if someone hadn’t told me they’d been looking for one for more than a decade!

I guarantee it will need to be rebonded, if you have a framebuilder near you who is up to do that then I say go for it, if not I’d stay away. I’ve had a bonded frame fail before and they fail without warning

That sure is purty. That’d be a wall hanger for me.
