The 30 Pound Merlin (Not Marlin)

Bike shop mechanics are privy to the strangest of people's fun rides. Take this bike for instance. A perfectly fine Merlin titanium cross country frame transmogrified into the pseudo-freeride beast that it is. Just about everything sans the frame (a testament to how well it was actually assembled) has been pummeled and scraped and used up for all it's worth. Yet this bike will be lovingly cared for as much as possible by the unbelieving mechanic's and shop staff and sent back out for who know how many more rounds of joy by it's oblivious owner. "Oh the horror" is a justified statement in this case. Arrrgghhh!
