Hi Ray and all involved in building my new KoM.  I took delivery in February and after a slow start with our awful weather I’ve clocked up a few miles now and its a superb bike – really comfortable and looks fantastic. Here are a few pics you may be interested in. Regards Ian 

Mercian Attached you will find my 2005 Audax Special Custom in 631 tubing. She’s been a great bike with a touch old old British class. Thank you, Bill  Connecticut, USA

I posted a picture of this frame some time ago on Twitter (@merciancycles) and wondered then it would ever get built into a complete machine or not. Then the other day we received these photos from Jon the owner and as you can see has built a lovely machine. Jon sent a short email saying…

Hello– I wanted to send along a picture of my just built gunmetal gray Audax on its maiden ride on a gunmetal gray Easter Sunday in lower Manhattan (that’s the almost complete Freedom Tower rising in the center and the Statute of Liberty is a little speck in the lower right). The bike is amazing…

Hello all, I’ve finally pulled the photos of my newly built up Super Vigorelli off my camera. I’ve since sorted the chain tension issue and she rides like a dream. It was purely by accident that the frame matched the rims but I think they look great together. Most the components are Japanese (Nitto, Sugino,…

Dear all at Mercian Cycles, many thanks for my new Mercian frame, painted in my club colours, Thornton RC. I’ve now built it up and road tested it, a beautiful ride. Thanks again,   Michael 

Did I ever send you a picture of my Pro Lugless? If you want to post it on the Blog, be my guest. The way things are with the weather, it’s the only bike I shall be riding! Seriously, if I had to give up all my bikes (ten – if you include the Anniversary) and keep…

David and his Mercian Audax on top of Col de Galibier in the Marmotte sportive 2010 32 km descent from here and it rode like a dream.

My Strada Speciale is now fully built.  I’ve not taken her for a spin yet as she’ll not fancy the damp, salty roads.  I’ll wait for a really good day.  The frame is truly splendid.   You can see a full list of the parts used in the build on my flickr photostream – http://www.flickr.com/photos/sjromaine Thanks…
