Due to popular demand…

It’s been a long time coming but the Newsboy is back! For 2023, we are offering ten limited-edition Newsboys. The team at Merlin has worked with the best folks in the industry like Silca and Yang Manfacturing to bring the Newsboy up to modern spec and performance while maintaining that classic Newsboy look. We will be offering the frame in five different stock sizes from Small to Extra Large. Custom geometry for an additional $500.  With intelligent manufacturing, leveraging additive manufacturing technology, and a big handful of that Merlin mystic, we have created the best Newsboy yet!

Innovative by Design

Designed utilizing custom, hand contoured tubes, the Newsboy has a distinctive shape of a classic cruiser with all the accoutrements of a top-flight mountain bike.

Cold Worked Titanium

The careful shaping and cold working of the tube set results in a 45% increase to the titanium's remarkable strength, enhancing bottom bracket stiffness while delivering a smooth, comfortable ride.

Best in Class Finish

The Newsboy’s beautifully engraved head tube badge, best in class finish, and meticulous welds are a testament to Merlin's commitment to frame quality and esthetics.
