A Mercian bike is responsive, comfortable to ride and beautifully set up, meaning you can stay in the saddle and enjoy your cycling for longer.
Every frame or bike built in-house by our craftsmen ensures your purchase will give you years of pleasure.
As with all Mercians, the colour choices are all yours, often the most difficult decision, but with over 60 hand-mixed colours we don’t make it any easier!
Once you have experienced the delight of riding a true British artisan built bike you will understand what all the fuss is about.
All bikes are built and set up ready to ride by our skilled and experienced mechanics. Once you have ridden your new Mercian bike for a while – then bring it back to us at any time and we will give it a free of charge check-over and make any adjustments necessary once the components have had chance to ‘bed in’.
To place an order for a Mercian bike – an initial deposit of £1200 is required. Once the frame is built and in the spray shop we will ask for an Intermediate payment and the final balance will be due on collection or before delivery. We endeavour to put significant care and time into each frame and bike order to make sure the order is right for you, therefore all Deposits are non-refundable.
