ALSO INCLUDED- sealed cartridge bearing bottom bracket. Long story short, Merlin(or your choosen welder) can repair the frame to 100% by replacing the down tube or you can do as I have done, put it on your wall and marvel at it's beauty. But now the down tube is slightly tweaked. The down tube cracked at one time and was rewelded. The original decals are there but not all quite intact. It has no dents and only light marks from brake cables and such. I've tried to illustrate with photos as best I can the true identity of this steed. ![]() Vintage example of the quintessential titanium frame builder, Merlin Metalworks. But it is nearly a quarter of a century old. ![]() This is my one and only 1991 Merlin Tom Kellogg Road bike frame. But I just have way too many bikes and insufficient time to truly do this frame the justice it deserves. I'm really kind of surprised that I'm doing this. You have to remember that the app itself has to run in the background to function properly and to send the right signals when to turn "this off" or "that on", and so on.On the auction block today is a 1991 Merlin Tom Kellogg Titanium Road Bike Frame. I'm always skeptical about these "battery saving apps" and how much battery they really save. Try it out, it may work for you, if not, then I hope my tips helped. I've heard great results from others among this board, but from my personal experience and for my use, they were ineffective and mostly interfered especially if I was using my phone late at night when things are supposed to be off. These battery saving apps for me, didn't show the results I expected, and maybe that's because I'm not as heavy of a user as I thought I was compared to others. The only reason I don't completely turn off my phone is because I like to leave it on just in case of emergencies. For myself, that's a significant difference and it's easy to do, for others it would be cumbersome. I've noticed anywhere from 8%-15% battery life saved overnight vs when I leave them on. These 3 things seem like minimal changes, but they play a huge factor in preserving battery life.Īs for my personal habits, when I go to sleep I turn off wifi, data, auto anything, and more recently all the s4 features to conserve. Manufacturer battery savers, such as Power Mode on the s4, block off the top speeds of the processor (basically underclocking), change screen settings (white background turns to blue in browser), and I believe the last one is haptic feedback which gets turned off. Manually turning things off means they're off and nothing else is monitoring them causing battery drain, even if it is just "sipping" the battery. To me there is really only one way to save battery, well 2 manually turn everything off yourself or use manufacturers' battery saver (such as on my s4). ![]() Maybe they do save battery, but it's at such a minimal loss that I barely noticed after running each app for 2 weeks. I've tried many and most notably Tasker and JuiceDefender, where I got less than impressive results from either. It is from my experience that I don't think these types of apps work. ![]() You have to remember that the app itself has to run in the background to function properly and to send the right signals when to turn "this off" or "that on", and so on.
