Merida are a brand that make bikes for a lot of the bigger manufacturers such as Specialized and Trek.
In recent years they have been producing their own branded bikes and have even started to sponsor some of the worlds Pro Peleton Race Teams such as ‘Bahrain Merida’ headed up by Vincenco Nibali.
They offer many types of bikes that include models being made from aluminium as well as carbon fibre. Their alloy bikes are offered in different types of quality with their best models in their HFS range. The HFS range uses the best aluminium and finishing processes.
Our HFS 905 model sits at the top of the range, but we have changed the spec now to incorporate a better set of components as well as a more modern groupset. Our ‘custom built’ model now offers the best of both worlds that sets it apart from more modern versions of the bike and moreover offers a better riding bike than what can be offered new.
We have used matching parts throughout that include Merida’s own-branded parts as well as components that suit / compliment the groupset.
The overall package is one that is worthy competitor to any new (modern) bikes such as the Specialized Allez, Giant Defy or Trek Emonda.
Having ridden the bike myself I can vouch for it’s speed and comfort. You instantly know that you are riding something that’s a bit different thus making the bike ideal for use on a club ride or equally on a Sportive.
The bike looks really cool in it’s white, black and red livery. We have matched all the parts on the bike to co-ordinate the complete spec. We have purposefully not over spec’d the bike, thus allowing it’s new owner to upgrade it to their own individual liking.
The spec is as follows:
Merida HFS Custom aluminium frame/ Carbon forks
Custom Build includes:
Shimano Tiagra 10 speed sti shifters
Shimano Tiagra Front Mech

The saddle, tyres and bar tape are brand new. Apart from a few blemishes here and there you would find it difficult to fault the overall quality of the bike.
Overall this is an amazing bike, with incredible pedigree that offers fabulous value for money.
