On a Home Depot run the other day and I came across this beauty. It's an old Merlin. I just thought it looked like a neat old road bike, but when I got home I found out they were a Massachusetts company that helped raise the bar on titanium frame construction. Apparently when the company was bought a few people defected and started Seven Cycles, whose bikes I lust after.
There are a lot of people who baby bikes like this, so it's just refreshing to see a nice high-end back barely locked to a Home Depot shopping cart rack.
