Merida bikes

[jrego]

I know that there are a lot of posts on here every day but some may possibly remember I posted up for some advice on weather boardman bikes were any good.

Anyway I went into my local bike shop to get my current piece of turd sorted out and was talking about bikes with the owner. He said that he had just signed a contract to sell merida bikes. He also said that compared to certain bikes I had in mind to get that I would be paying a lil bit more for a popular name.

So I guess my question is does anyone have or rate Merida bikes highly.

I did get a calalogue from the bike shop and using my limited knowledge they look pretty good to me.

Any help would be great thanks

Dont have any direct feedback but they are a reasonably well known company, been making frames for others for years. I would think that you could buy with reasonable confidence.

But whether or not they are better value for cash than the Boardman's? Well...
reviews are good for both brands.

Merida are still in the VFM band. My daughter has a Merida sub60 and it's very nicley put together, and very well equipped.

Their road bikes look great and are highly recommended, but are still a bit component light compared with Boardman

I got a Merida for my birthday just on Sunday there and am delighted with it. Nice style, smooth to ride

Ok I have only done about 80 miles on him since I got him, but every single one was a pleasure
