Hello Mercian , You & colleagues did a superb job renovating our Dawes Galaxy Twin tandem frame, for which – many thanks! I said I’d send you a picture of our tandem once I’d rebuilt it. Two pictures are attached for use in your gallery. Apologies to be slow getting round to doing this. Kind…

Dear  Mercian, Please find attached a photo of my fully built Pro Lugless, made from 853 Pro Team, Finished in Electric Blue Pearl and Fitted with Ultegra 6800. My first ride suggested I’d made the right choice as it felt like ‘my bike’ within the first few pedal strokes. The fit was perfect, and I’m…

Hi Mercian, I bought it about six months ago to replace a Mercian I had let go reluctantly some years earlier. The frame was sound but a bit tatty with a dent in the top tube and rust under the bottom bracket. A lovely frame with the distinctive heart shape cut outs on the lugs….

Hello Mercian Have done around 100 miles on the bike now and I can say that it’s wonderful. Very quick but also so comfortable to ride. Had to flip the stem to get the right set up for me but ride position now spot on. Some pics attached from cafe stop near Stansted Airport today….

​Is this the highest that a Mercian has ever been? Have done about 100K miles on the one you built for me in the 12 years I have owned it. Cheers John . Colorado USA Can you beat the height ? Why not send a picture in 🙂

Hi I recently had my Giant resprayed at your shop and I wanted to say what a wonderful job you’ve done for me! The colour is vibrant and the decals stand out and are really sharp. the paint finish all over is immaculate, even in the most difficult little parts of the frame, it really…

Hi Guys, Welcome to an early year, thanks to training camp in Denia, Alicante. Thought you’d like to see the KOM again. Apologies for the ancient Overlander. Regards
