I wanted to share with photos of my completed Mercian Olympic restoration. I’m really pleased with the way everything has turned out, despite some last minute glitches, but now everything is sweet, with great road manners. Its got pride of place in my collection and gets used for sunny Sunday jaunts after my main morning…

As promised here’s a few shots of the professional.It’s a mix of old and new school parts, looks straight out of the 80’s from a distance…Gently-used old school campy record pedals and long-reach brakes.NOS super record front derailleur, seatpost, and late-vintage, non-fluted super record crankset. Modern record headset, Suzue Classica high flange road hubs, Nitto…

Hello everyone else at Mercian! Thanks again for a wonderful frameset. I built it up a couple of weeks ago and have finally got round to taking some shots. I have attached a few (sorry if there are a lot but I got a bit carried away!). I really enjoyed building it up over a…

Ive waited years to be able to have a Mercian. Thanks for the brilliant work of art that you have created for me. Already covered a couple of hundred miles in the first couple of weeks and its perfect. The clover lugs have given me something to look at as Ive climbed up one or…

This picture has come all the way from San Francisco . The bike belongs to Timothy. The frame is finished in our Deep plum pearl.

The first picture you see is an insert for use with a belt drive system which seems to becoming popular. The second is the keeping rings for S&S couplers. These keeper rings are changed just before the spray shop and of course before delivery to the customer.

The 23″ frame/forks feature original chrome & graphics with Campagnolo dropouts, wrapover seat cluster with allen head fastening and a typical twin plate fork crown drilled with provision for a front brake. 39″ wheelbase, 16″ chainstays, 11″ b/brkt height. Components include Campy b/brkt axle & cups, Stronglight 49D short 165mm track cranks, TA 59t chainring,…

Just a quick post showing not only 3 ugly mugs but part of our new clothing range.

Here’s a few frames which are waiting for the transfers to be fitted before the final coat of varnish. A few track frames amongst them and some very nice colour schemes.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for my wonderful bike. It’s taken a while to build, but it’s now here and jaw droppingly beautiful. Attached are a few photographs: Best Wishes, Matt (London) Thank you Matt its lookin good

Please find attached a photo of my 653 Pro Lugless which you built for me back in 94. It was Veloce equipped, but over many years use it’s now a bit of a mish mash with Record headset, a Chorus brake lever and Centaur crank. It’s still very much a Mercian though! This picture was…

I just wanted to pass on my thanks and appreciation. I had a Strada Speciale frame built up by you and which I took delivery of late last year (09). I had long hankered after a Mercian and I wanted it built up to be as close as possible to the steel racers of my…
