Major Davids collection
Here is a series of my collection. I bought my first Merican, an Olympic, in 1971. Sold that one and bought a Professional in 1972. Then I had my first Mercian built for me in 1973. It was a Viggorelli, which got stolen en route. The replacement arrived in early 1974. I still have that bike. …

Anton’s bike from Somerville U.S.A
Dear sir, I had the good fortune of becoming the owner of a 1971 Mercian Olympic and thought I’d share a photo of it. Its history is largely unknown, but its previous owner had bought it from his local bike shop as a used frame of unknown origin– the original decals had been sprayed over….

Ben’s Track bike
Hi, Not sure why I didn’t get around to mailing a picture to you after I received my frame and built it up last year. I probably drove you mad with making lots of minor changes to the finish but I’m delighted with it. Anyway, here it is. I think it’s beautiful and…

des’s White Machine
Hi I’ve been meaning to send these in for a while now. I believe this started life as a 1978 Mercian ‘Routier’ (frame no 46678) in blood red which I have owned now for 24 years having aquired it as just frame and forks from the previous owner. As you can see I have recently…
